My #SpookyInc20 memory is when I first met Voltaire in 2005! For whatever reason, my schedule and his performance schedule never worked until then. I kept hearing about how great his live shows are and was thrilled when he came through Chicago. Charming, clever and talented! If you aren’t familiar with him, go now to Voltaire.net – listen to his music, buy his merch and check out his latest project “Gothic Homemaking” on YouTube! I guarantee you will become an instant fan 🙂
Robert Tomoguchi is creating Blood Sky
Blood Sky is the story of Konomi Ketsueki, a Japanese vampire living in the very near future who struggles to survive in a world following a global war where nuclear weapons were used. Human prey has become scarce across the planet, except in parts of the United States. As vampires from around the globe emigrate to America, they are forced to hunt and kill each other as they compete for the dwindling supply of human blood. With her fangs, Konomi will sustain herself by feeding on the lives of mortals, but armed with her katana and brass-knuckled-stake she will kill the immortals she encounters who are not part of her bloodline.
Robert trying something new with this story. He is going to release it online, chapter by chapter, as he writes it. He’s hoping some of you will be interested in reading it and watching his creative process as the story builds. He has created a Patreon account in the hopes of gaining sponsors for the writing and publication of this story.
