Starfall
The development in humans of psychic powers, in some sort of next stage of evolution into the spirit world.
It starts in the Victorian Gothic Horror Past of vampires, witches, zombies and werewolves. This shows the nascent powers as these are ordinary people ‘feeling it’ for the first time, though skewered by their strong religious beliefs and Victorian morals of guilt and sorrow and secrets.
Then to the ‘Present’ era with advanced Ascended Beings struggling over lost souls and other psychic wars of astral duels and attacking thought-bubbles.
The story ends in the far future, with biodome cities, spaceships and robots, and the long-term projection of this society. But there has been a devastating World War Four in between, a ravaging psychic war. And now the State controls very tightly any aberrant thoughts that may develop into dangerous new powers.
We follow the same group of people through all time-frames. Each with a story to tell.
This is an epic fiction novel involving revenge, esoteric lore, time-travel, weird fiction, and loads and loads of jokes.
It is ‘Penny Dreadful’ meets ‘Doctor Who’ meets ‘Blake’s 7’.
It starts in Magical Realism and ends in a sci-fi dystopia. You gotta read it.

About the author
Reekfeel
50 books24 followersA writer of strange abnormal fiction, like Bizarro in Absurdism and Comedy and Surreal Horror. A weird different style that’s totally unique going into mind-bending dimensions and experimental narratives. With a richness of originality, avoiding writing about things already written about. Distinctive feature - the trickster narrator. On Amazon and Godless dot com.

I can't help comparing this to Grant Morrison's The Invisibles in that you know that you will go through a roller coaster psychedelic journey and you'll end up loving it. Bold and breathtaking writing.
