Project Lucy

Not much more to add, but it’s coming together beautifully, and it’s nice to be nailing down the “ecology of the supernatural” that I’ve explored in the related short stories. In fiction I’ve always loved the use of ephemera, and in the jesusman stories this has been kicked up a notch – the world of Now runs on a scavenger ecology, a brutalised society picking through Before-Time junk from “bleedthroughs” simply to survive. Time itself, and the brutal nature of the Crossing, has all but wiped out knowledge of the soft world these settlers left behind. All they have to prop up their broken culture is what bleeds through, and some of this drifting ephemera can shape politics, even religion itself.

All I can say is, you’ll find one in every country town…I cannot wait to give the world Lesterton. Mwahahah.
