SUPANOVA MEDIA are pleased to announce ‘GHOSTS OF SOUND’ the next volume in THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES, the alternative history series created and written by Henry Chebaane.
This second volume comes a year after the author published his acclaimed debut graphic novel THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES: TIMES OF LONDON, an epic steampunk Sci-fi saga set in an alternative, yet uncannily familiar King’s Cross between 1864 and 2024.
Readers familiar with the series will continue to enjoy this original gritty blend of science-fiction, horror and alternative history spiced with occasional wry humour and philosophical musings.
GHOSTS OF SOUND has been written as a three-issue self-contained story to be published between now and summer 2025. This volume has also been illustrated by Stephen Baskerville.
SYNOPSIS
This story continues the extraordinary adventures of time-travelling musician Alex Campbell, started in TIMES OF LONDON, the first volume of THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES. The action now takes place between Scotland and Nova Scotia in 1881.
Born from the ashes of the American Civil War and the activities of European colonial powers, the republic of Varangia is now on a brutal conquest of Eastern Canada and beyond. Nothing seems able to stand in their path as they seek their manifest destiny, led by President Godwin Deblanc and the mystical order of the Immaculate Oblati.
As they extend their reach, Varangia and its dominions are being turned into a patriarchal religious supremacy enabled by social control, wanton resource extraction and a powerful military-industrial complex. Indigenous populations and non-white immigrants are treated as expandable commodities for cheap labour and much worse.
When Alex stands up to protect a group of trafficked women and children, she starts a chain of events that could have dreadful consequences for her and the people she seeks to protect. She now finds herself facing multiple threats and new horrors, the likes of which, she could have never imagined.
Issue 1 collects chapter 7 and 8 and will be launched in November 2024 at the Thought Bubble Festival with a limited edition cover by Milanese artist Fabio Jacomelli.
Supanova Media will be at table A15 in Red Shirt Hall, Harrogate. Come and say hello!
