Club Llithium by C.R. Allen

About Club Llithium by C.R. Allen

Have you ever enjoyed a night out with friends, only to wake up the next day feeling like you’ve aged a decade? Now, imagine if that sensation wasn’t just a hangover but a reality.

Club Llithium is the hottest nightclub in town. Within the confines of an abandoned church, devoted hopefuls wait for hours, seeking the slightest chance of entry. Among the fortunate few granted access, strong drinks, beautiful people, and an unparalleled experience await.

Bea is a graduate student who finds herself suddenly homeless, but by a stroke of luck, she discovers a new roommate in the wealthy heiress Mal. Reluctantly, she suspends her thesis and gives in to Mal’s enticements to join her at Club Llithium.

It doesn’t take long for Bea to be swept up in the enchantment and allure of the club, where the themes change nightly, and the charming owner, Cam, takes a keen interest in her. However, not all is as it seems, as stories of missing girls and mysterious deaths are told in hushed whispers.

Follow Bea’s journey as she uncovers the dark secrets buried deep under the majestic world of the privileged and elite who manage the club.

Will she find her answers in time before sinister machinations focus their gaze upon her?

The story embraces the supernatural gothic setting and sprinkles in just the right amount of horror elements to entertain the reader without overwhelming them with gore.

If you enjoy mainstream horror writers like Stephen King and modern retellings of lore and legends from the likes of Neil Gaiman, you’ll be thrilled to find both woven together inside Club Llithium.

The Dead Chip Syndicate

About The Dead Chip Syndicate

Offered the chance to run his twin brother’s A.I. company, Anthony Wilson ditches his failing screenwriting career to start anew in Macau. The job turns highly lucrative when Anthony’s new client, Cash Cheang, a pompadour-topped and Johnny Cash-loving casino operator, hands him a bag full of cold hard Yuan to implement a facial recognition system in his casino.

Hearing about Anthony’s past life as a screenwriter, Cash offers him another job – ghostwriting a biography about the casino mogul’s life rising from the mean streets of Macau to becoming one of the city’s most notorious and successful businessmen. Anthony accepts the job while also agreeing to help Cash sell his latest scheme, a cryptocoin aimed at raising funds for a floating casino in Macau.

As Anthony learns more about Cash’s life, he realizes the biography is filled with dangerous secrets about the Chinese elite, secrets these powerful people would rather see buried for good. “You always cheat the ones closest to you,” warns an old Chinese proverb. Words that ring true as Anthony enters a playground more surreal and depraved than decadent Hollywood. More deadly too as Anthony soon discovers he’s the dupe in a huge Chinese money-laundering scheme that might be orchestrated by his treacherous twin.
