As is the case with most of my ideas, I'm still in murky waters with this one, but a gritty vampire fiction is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I tried it out with Tuxedo Boys, before realising that it was set in entirely the wrong period--the twenty-first century. Neckromancer is set in the future, and is me experimenting with both second-person and third-person, with two different plot threads that I will gradually intertwine with one another in a manner that (hopefully) makes sense.
Thread #1: Set in Ophelia, a city in New Switzerland, a prisoner escapes a maximum-security prison and is out to seek revenge on the person who had her put there in the first place: a man whom everyone calls Chancellor Derrich, but the prisoner knows as Robinson Grok. I intend for the prisoner to remain unnamed for the majority of her chapters, although she will go by a number of aliases throughout the course of the novel. Her sections chronicle her adventures as she is A) on the run, and B) meets a group that might just aid her on her journey.
Thread #2: The second plot-thread takes place in various places all over Europe. Lilly and Hugh are con-artists, half-vampires on the run from a deranged lunatic, in debt, and slowly dying. Half-vampires, in /Neckromancer/, are not magical creatures with heightened senses or special powers. Instead, their bodies are unable to support the external strain of being half-turned, and if they are not fully-turned, then they will die.
Not all vampires can turn a half-vamp into a complete vampire. But Lilly and Hugh are not looking for someone to complete the process. Instead, they're looking for someone to turn them human again.
I intend to have a lot of fun with this. I'll use this thread to generally jabber on about ideas + for worldbuilding and the lot (because MS Word files are such a pain and I might actually be motivated to keep my plotting clean for once instead of in scraps).
