Description
Fifteen years after climbing the beanstalk, giants are the least of Jack’s concerns…
Twisted fairy tale figures roam our world in this deliciously dark, exhilarating new Urban Fantasy series, featuring familiar characters from mythology and fables clashing and conniving in a metropolitan cesspit that runs on chaos.
Amid rumors of necromantic cults, children vanishing from the city's streets and men crying werewolf, down-and-out Detective Jackson Slade of the NYPD is at his lowest. Blacklisted by the corrupt department he works for, he finds himself winding up in the same grimy bars every night, nearly drinking himself to death and relying on mysterious magick beans to pick himself back up.
Until, one night, he stumbles upon a gruesome crime scene that will change the course of his life dramatically. When he finds the shattered corpse of egg-shaped billionaire media mogul Dick Dumpty, Jack finds himself reluctantly teaming up with the notoriously cold-blooded outlaw Goldilocks, and together they spiral into the horrifying magickal underbelly of New York City, caught in the middle of a war between the corrupt and the even more corrupt.
Coming up against forces such as the grizzly gang leader Papa Bear and the crooked giant-descendant head of the NYPD Chief Cole, Jack and Goldilocks set in motion an explosive chain of events that will change the world, for better or for so much worse…
Advance Praise
"Filled with cutthroat action and thrills, Fablenoir offers readers an intense and crazy ride. Vic Sinclair's narrative style is original and immersive; I couldn't wait to discover what was next on the agenda." -- Readers' Favorite
"Gloomy, dark, humorous, and full of unexpected turns that will cause you to reconsider your perception of classic fairytale characters. I could not put the book down as Jack and Goldilocks wade deeper into this anarchic world. If you are familiar with the works (and writing styles) of Jim Butcher and Neil Gaiman, Fablenoir will also pique your interest." -- Readers' Favorite
"This is a really cool world to step into. It has characters from fairy tales in an urban fantasy setting with film noir vibes. If you've played The Wolf Among Us or Heavy Rain, I think you could really have fun with this book." -- Reedsy Discovery
