The Queen of No Tomorrows

LOS ANGELES

THE EIGHTIES

Cait MacReady is an ex-punk rocker, having spent her college years slammed around the underground that was quickly burning out and becoming something more hardcore. She spent time interning with occult mystery hunters running their own ramshackle television show. She became a librarian and book restorer. She became a forger, recreating lost and forbidden volumes of magickal power, all the time never once believing that it was real and steering well clear of anyone who did.

She made up a book of her own. To see if she could fool anyone into thinking that it was real history, and real magic. Just to see what happened.

Then Cait met the Queen.

The Queen already knew about the book, already believed in its power, already craved what was written within those pages, even before Cait had finished creating it. Now the Queen will do anything to possess it.

Originally released in 2018, The Queen of No Tomorrows returns in a revised edition. Accompanying the original novel is a new novella entitled "Dreams are Made of Us," telling the story of the band Dreamless, who may have stumbled into overnight success after ten years. But success comes at the cost of playing someone else's song. Only this time it's the Queen of No Tomorrows who is calling the tune, and the price asked for may be more than imagined.

The first of the Hazeland books, The Queen of No Tomorrows combines crime and weird horror, wrapped around a heart of longing and a perhaps dangerous belief in the power of the word to change the real. This edition also includes many pages of behind-the-scenes notes, inspirations and shots fired across the bow of hidebound thought and narrow-minded category-policing.
