Author Anthony M. Caro Unleashes Cogs in a Neon Globe: A Cyberpunk Noir Collection

Solid Pre-Sales Reveal Reader Enthusiasm for the Follow-up to the Indie Hit, Dreaded Invocations.

From the visionary mind behind the sleeper hit Dreaded Invocations, Anthony M. Caro delivers an innovative new collection, Cogs in a Neon Globe: A Cyberpunk Noir Collection, hitting shelves June 7. Dive into the strobe-lit shadows of the NEON GLOBE, a domed city cage where retrofuturistic rebels defy the iron grip of a faceless syndicate.

FIVE GRITTY TALES OF LOW-LIFE/RETRO-TECH SCIENCE FICTION!

These avant-garde tales weave a gritty tapestry of betrayal, defiance, and existential dread, following outcasts like Cal, a pill-fueled artist profiling the city’s freaks; Dolly, a cybernetic courtesan defying the syndicate captors’ chains, hunts a red-gloved killer stalking Love Dolls through the glowing globe’s seedy underbelly, unraveling a blood-soaked conspiracy; and Freddy, a burned-out assassin battling robots and his own doom. Perfect for Blade Runner and Neuromancer fans, this pulse-pounding neo-noir captures the unyielding cage of a dystopian future, where freedom is a dream for the daring.

22nd-Century Giallo Slashings

Horror fans will devour the tale “Dolly Jolly Discovers Red-Stitched Gloves Are for Killing,” a brutal gut-punch of a Giallo/sci-fi mashup that transports 1970s slasher tropes into a bleak, dystopian hellscape where love is for rent and life has no value. The twisted tale delivers blood-soaked thrills with a razor’s edge.

Avante-Garde New Wave Sci-Fi

Drawing inspiration from the 1970s New Wave science fiction movement, Cogs in a Neon Globe channels the experimental spirit of Philip K. Dick, blending surreal paranoia with sharp social critique. This retro-futuristic odyssey pays homage to Generation X’s defiant ethos, reviving the rebellious pulse of the 90s through its neon-drenched streets and analog tech.

A professional copywriter for 20 years, Caro brings genre expertise from contributions to HorrorNew.net, Comic Book Historians, and FanSided’s 1428 Elm. His filmmaking credits include Executive Producer on Alien Horde, and production credits on indie films, Skate to Hell, Beast in the Manor, and Pancake Man. His experience infuses the collection with cinematic grit. “Cogs explores the neon cage of human fatalism and choices through New Wave’s off-kilter rawness with Gen X’s paradoxical rebellious nature and love for consumer culture,” Caro says.
