Life sucks balls for Jade Winters, a misplaced, introverted teen fresh out of high school. Jade has no friends, so he keeps to himself mostly. However, there is Becca Barnes. Becca and Jade have known each other since grade school. He can’t remember a time where he didn’t know every detail on her face. Her eyes. Her lips. Her smile. If only Jade could get up the courage to tell her how he really feels. Becca’s Dad, Mathias, is the town Preacher. Protective and overzealous, Mathias stands in the way of their relationship. He’s kind of a dick.
Jade has recurring nightmares and they are making him crazy. He tried to ask his mom but Jenna’s not much help. Jade thinks she’s hiding the truth from him. Working as a grocery store clerk since high school, in an arid and dull Midwestern American town, Jade’s not really where he expected to be. His goofy boss, Bill, just offered him assistant manager, however, Jade feels he’s meant for something bigger. He can feel it pulsating in his head like tinnitus. With aspirations to hit the road and never look back, Jade has a mind to take Becca with him. But that’s not all Jade dreams about. Jade’s nights are populated by some very weird, and fantastical things from a provocative, otherworldly place called Nocturnia.
When Jade’s hamlet is terrorized by an unknown, diabolical force, the town is completely blindsided. He is relentlessly pursued by menacing, shadowy figures leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. There are strangers afoot in the tiny town of Antioch, Missouri, stalking Jade for reasons unknown. Perhaps Jenna should have told Jade about her strange and dark past with Jade’s Father, Marcus, but she couldn’t hardly believe it herself. To Jade’s rescue comes Argasus and Lexi Minx, two freakish, immortal misfits and the last of their kind. Suddenly, Jade’s on the run with his new comrades and the future is uncertain. Although Jade Winters wanted to leave Antioch, Missouri in the dust, he never expected a raucous and revealing journey like this.
Nocturnity is a genre-bending new book series by Michael G. Plumides, Jr. (Author of Kill the Music, Creator of Ghost Trek, Executive Producer of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed: Director’s Cut) with broad appeal to Y/A, N/A, GenXers and everyone in between. Beset by colliding worlds, Nocturnity is mysterious and darkly-comedic combining elements of Science-Fiction, Romantasy, Horror, Crime Drama, Mystery, and Suspense with underlying political themes. Plumides has created an intense menagerie that leads you through murky places, as forever is the night.
New York Times Bestseller of Red Empire and Ghosts of the Void, Jonathan Maberry, said, “Nocturnity is a wonderfully weird trip through paranoia, fear, and newfound courage. Plumides breathes new life into supernatural thrillers with this wild tale.”
“Nocturnity is fun in the way dark fantasy should be. It’s immersive without being exhausting, emotional without wallowing, and mythic without disappearing up its own lore.” Jose Leitao – The Clive Barker Podcast
NOCTURNITY IS NOW A FILM IN DEVELOPMENT WITH DIGITAL THUNDERDOME. MICHAEL PLUMIDES AND SCOTT HANSEN (BAD CANDY, DEVOUR) HAVE JOINED FORCES TO BRING NOCTURNITY TO THE BIG SCREEN.
