City of the Lost

by Stephen Blackmoore
City of the Lost by Stephen Blackmoore
Unrated

Joe Sunday’s dead.

He just hasn’t stopped moving yet.


Sunday’s a thug, an enforcer, a leg-breaker for hire. When his boss sends him to kill a mysterious new business partner, his target strikes back in ways Sunday could never have imagined. Murdered, brought back to a twisted half-life, Sunday finds himself stuck in the middle of a race to find an ancient stone with the power to grant immortality. With it, he might live forever. Without it, he’s just another rotting extra in a George Romero flick.

Everyone’s got a stake, from a psycho Nazi wizard and a razor-toothed midget, to a nympho-demon bartender, a too-powerful witch who just wants to help her homeless vampires, and the one woman who might have all the answers — if only Sunday can figure out what her angle is.

Before the week is out he’s going to find out just what lengths people will go to for immortality. And just how long somebody can hold a grudge.

Stephen Blackmoore

Stephen Blackmoore’s writing brims with gritty realism and a razor-sharp wit, taking readers on wild, unpredictable journeys through worlds where the supernatural collides with the very human struggle for survival. Best known for his Eric Carter series, which blends dark urban fantasy with noir, Blackmoore’s work is a cocktail of magic, crime, and redemption served with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Growing up in California, Blackmoore was always drawn to the darker side of storytelling, where the shadows hold secrets and even the heroes have a lot to hide. His journey as a writer started early, crafting stories that combined his love for the fantastic with a fascination for the complexities of flawed characters. It’s this tension between light and dark that defines his approach to writing—his characters are always navigating the messiness of life, trying to do the right thing even if it costs them everything.

His Eric Carter series stands out in the crowded field of urban fantasy for its relentless pace, unforgettable characters, and its blend of the supernatural with gritty realism. Carter, a necromancer with a troubled past, doesn’t just battle monsters and magic—he fights the consequences of his own choices. It's this raw, unflinching exploration of personal responsibility that gives the series its emotional core, drawing readers back time and again.

Beyond the Eric Carter series, Blackmoore’s work spans various projects that often tread into the darker, more offbeat corners of genre fiction. Whether it's his short stories or his forays into horror and noir, he’s always looking for fresh ways to blur the lines between the real and the unreal. His writing style reflects that same edginess—quick, engaging, and never afraid to leave a scar.

Stephen Blackmoore’s work is a tribute to those who live in the margins, to the characters who might be considered outsiders, but who still have a story worth telling. With a style as sharp as his protagonists and a knack for crafting stories that don’t just entertain but also leave an emotional impact, Blackmoore is a name that’s hard to forget in the world of speculative fiction.
