Olivia Hill

    This author and game designer thrives in the realms of horror, urban fantasy, and science fiction. Her work delves into themes of vampires, social issues, and the intricate weave of mythology with everyday reality. Believing that stories about monsters are inherently stories about people, she illuminates how individuals live and interact. Her writing also offers a meta-commentary on the creative process itself, questioning the purpose of art and the meaning of existence.

      Tiffany’s lived off the grid in the desert all her life. Miranda’s a world famous pop star who peaked in the early 2000s. Naomi’s a goth working at a corporate movie nostalgia theme park. What do these three women have in common? They were all created as super weapons by a clandestine government conspiracy called MK ULTRA. Together with a college student who can project his consciousness through space and a professional vampire hunter, they take a road trip for the truth, for freedom, and to fight back. It's like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets The Men Who Stare At Goats. It's X-Files meets From Justin to Kelly. (Actually that's a bad comparison. Ignore that.)
