📝 Description: Iron & Brass
Ramona Stone is a retired boxer and cancer survivor barely getting by in a faded Rust-Belt town--until she unwittingly frees a jinni from a thrift-store teapot. Now her cat has the power of speech, an ultra-powerful being is bunking on her couch...and her snow-locked community is set to become a battleground between our reality and a magic netherworld beyond. For the shapeshifting cannibal ghul Ashera has vowed to pursue Izi al-Samoon from the frozen vales of urban West Virginia to the gates of Hell itself--or take Ramona's own weary soul in his place. Echoing the epic wainscot-fantasy traditions of Neil Gaiman and China Mieville and evoking the visceral horror of Clive Barker, Chris Fain's IRON & BRASS is a dark urban fable of unlikely heroes, unspeakable villains, and the lengths we go to for love and honor.

Chris Fain delivers a compelling urban fable that effectively merges the visceral horror of Clive Barker with the whimsical yet dark tone of Neil Gaiman. The protagonist, Ramona Stone, provides a grounded anchor in a world spiraling into magical chaos, featuring a talking cat and a couch-bunking entity. The setting of a snow-locked West Virginia community adds to the claustrophobic tension as it becomes a battleground for interdimensional forces. While the premise leans heavily into dark fantasy tropes, the execution remains engaging through its focus on unlikely heroes and personal stakes. This book suits readers who enjoy horror with heart, blending cosmic dread with intimate character struggles in a vividly realized, frozen landscape.
