Inkpot Gods

Alchemical Journeys #4 / 4
by Seanan McGuire
Inkpot Gods (Alchemical Journeys #4) by Seanan McGuire
Unrated

The New York Times bestselling author takes us back to the world of the Alchemical Journeys in this action-packed follow-up to Middlegame, Seasonal Fears, and Tidal Creatures.

The gods live and die at our whim.

More than a century has passed since Asphodel Baker refined the process allowing her to imbue alchemically created life with power in a way no one else had ever been able to achieve. More than a century since she built the Impossible City on the ruins of Olympus, forging it from nothing more than imagination and spite, and penned it in plain view, enabling it to be read and cherished and believed by children the world over.

And now, so long after her exit from the world, the descendants of her dark alchemy—who exist in a reality that inches ever closer to the hellscape of her imagination—step into a place of birth, of discovery, of horror, to make amends for the sins of the past.

Can the gods of today defeat the evils of their maker, or will the legacy of the most powerful alchemist the world has ever known prove to be their undoing?

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire

Seanan McGuire is a name that resonates with readers of urban fantasy, horror, and science fiction, known for her deep explorations into the dark and strange corners of the world. But while many recognize her for her October Daye and InCryptid series, Seanan’s literary prowess extends far beyond her most famous works. Under the name Mira Grant, she delves into gripping dystopias and terrifyingly believable horror with a touch of speculative brilliance. As A. Deborah Baker, she ventures into the whimsical and profound, creating rich, layered worlds that ask the reader to think deeply while being swept away in adventure.

Born and raised in Northern California, Seanan’s love for storytelling began early, with a childhood full of fantasy novels and a passion for role-playing games. That interest eventually blossomed into a career that spans genres and shows no sign of slowing down. She first burst onto the scene with the October Daye series, which blends urban fantasy with rich mythological underpinnings, offering a world filled with creatures, magic, and politics, all wrapped in the character of a fierce and witty protagonist.

In addition to her work as Seanan McGuire, she has written under the name Mira Grant, bringing readers to the brink of horror with novels like Feed, which explore the intersection of zombie apocalypses and media culture. As A. Deborah Baker, she crafts stories that reflect her interest in history, exploration, and the mysteries of the unknown, offering tales that balance wonder with a healthy dose of dark curiosity.

Her books, whether written under her real name or her pseudonyms, all share a common thread: characters facing the unknown, struggling with their identities, and navigating worlds where reality and fantasy are intertwined. Whether diving into the eerie, the fantastical, or the unsettling, Seanan McGuire’s work invites readers to venture into realms where the impossible feels heartbreakingly real, and where every twist and turn is a promise of something both new and familiar.

Alchemical Journeys

From New York Times and award-winning author Seanan McGuire comes the action-packed dark fantasy series, Alchemical Journeys. In Middlegame, readers are introduced to a world of amoral alchemy and shadowy organizations, as twins Roger and Dodger navigate impossible cities in a quest for power. Set in the same world, Seasonal Fears is the extraordinary companion novel featuring Melanie, who believes in destiny and Harry, who does not. They find themselves with no choice but to follow a new road with untold dangers.


Alchemical Journeys consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
