The Cor

Classic Sci-Fantasy in a subterranean world

On the eve of his 15th birthday, Corvan discovers a small stone hammer buried beneath his backyard fort. The hammer opens hidden doors and reveals family secrets. When his best friend Kate is taken prisoner, Corvan will leave his small town to rescue her, but first he must make an uneasy alliance with the guardian of the labyrinth.

BACKGROUND INFO

As a child of the 1960’s, I set out to write a retro science-fantasy adventure. Emulating vintage portal fiction such as “Stranger from the Depths” (1967) this subterranean adventure takes place in real space and time; a midwest mining town in 1952.

Love interests reflect the historical time frame and the young age of the MC’s. The content warning relates to the addictive properties of a substance found in the Cor and how that impacts the teen MC and others. This subplot becomes more intense in book II.

To preserve the reader experience, I intentionally keep author notes to a bare minimum. A.I. is not used in writing or artwork. At present, chapters are posted on weekends as I am working on setting up my Patreon pages. Thanks for your understanding.
