The Demi-Monde: Summer
Welcome to the Demi-Monde: a computer-created steampunk horror-pit of a virtual world, ruled by history’s choicest psychos!
Eight thousand years ago the Deluge destroyed the empire of the Lilithi, setting the race of super-warriors known as the Grigori loose in the outside world. They have lain hidden until now when – thanks to the creation of the dystopian virtual reality that is the Demi-Monde – they at last stand ready to achieve mastery of the Real World – and to cull HumanKind in the Final Solution.
Three girls stand between them and victory: Norma Williams, trapped in the nightmare that is the Coven, the viciously misandric Sector of the Demi-Monde; Ella Thomas, enslaved by the spirit of Lilith-come-again; and Trixie Dashwood, consumed by her hatred for Heydrich and his evil ForthRight.

Part Matrix, part Escape from New York, with a dash of Film Noir and a whole host of imagination. Beautifully written
State of the art . . . Discworld's savage noir cousin
Delectably dark
An amazingly quick and enjoyable read
