Madame Antic's Hotel Grotesque (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798314354865)

"A twisting labyrinth of shifting realities, a fast-moving adventure merging the ideas of Philip K. Dick and David Cronenberg. Highly Recommended." - Deborah Walker, author of Future Tales 2100

In an alternate Victorian era replete with aerovehicles, automatons, and other electrik wonders, factory worker Anthony Reynolds seeks to improve his station in life for the sake of his young bride-to-be. Against his better judgment, he joins Richard, a gregarious coworker with social connections, for a night on the town after their late shift. Richard leads them deep into the city's underworld to a brothel of sorts specializing in the illegal art of mutilation where willing victims are skinned, broken, and mangled without lasting damage due to a special drug that returns them to their original state. Horrified, Anthony wants to leave at once-but that's when Constables raid the establishment.

While attempting to flee the scene, Anthony encounters a giant monstrosity of a man who infects him with an unknown substance. Anthony is instantly disfigured, and when the authorities capture him, he is unable to identify himself, let alone speak. What follows is a mind-bending adventure of mistaken identity, multiple realities, and paranoia as he fights to reclaim a simple life he never truly appreciated but now wants more than anything. When he discovers the shocking truth of his world and Madame Antic's disturbing role in it, nothing will ever be the same again.

"This brilliant genre mashup brings the gore and mystery in equal measure. Just when you've figured it out, Fowler dashes your reality with a new twist." - Anthony J. Rapino, author of Soundtrack to the End of the World

"This steampunk / horror / post-apocalyptic / Matrixy mash-up is insane in all the right ways. I will be looking forward to new titles arriving in the Interdimensionals series." - Kris Diebold, book reviewer

"In a genre where the sky is literally the limit, Fowler excels in reaching new heights." - Jennifer Tooker, book reviewer
