Featured Book and Contest! AFTERLIGHT by J. Corsentino

Corsentino's latest work today.  AFTERLIGHT just debuted and if you love fantastical, faery artwork, this book is a must-buy!  But guess what?  Corsentino is giving you a chance to win a copy!  All you have to do is comment below.  Tell us your favorite 'breed' of faery.  [Contest open to US residents only, please.]


Time of the Faeries: Afterlight - The Angel Apocalypse

These Angels will eat your aura for breakfast.

Not what you’d expect from the celestial beings we all know, but in Time of the Faeries: Afterlight they murder humans for energy to sustain themselves after the world takes a turn for the worse.  This is the Apocalyptic future in which we humans have destroyed our own world and Angels are massacering the few who are left.

These Angels are not Vampires, but it’s hard to tell the difference when they hunt and feed on our kind.

Time of the Faeries: Afterlight is a four-part graphic novel series that explore the origins of the Faeries, the evolution of Angels and Vampires from a common Fae ancestor, and their own unique adaptations to the modern world.  It follows the alliances and tensions that develop between these three species as they struggle to protect human civilization or shape it to their will.  The Afterlight follows several lines of cause and effect, revealing possible versions of the Apocalypse at the hands of all three species.

In the first book, Afterlight, End of the World, we begin at the end with the Angel Apocalypse: a dying Earth, ravaged by war, now hosts only a few scattered pockets of humanity.  These last survivors are being hunted to extinction by starving Angels, their energy consumed so that the Angels might live.  Below ground, a small band of shape-shifting male faeries called the Phelans struggle to protect the last collection of human life in Los Angeles and a mysterious young girl who may hold the key to their survival.  Above ground, as the winged forces amass to complete their genocide, a lone Angel named Halyon struggles to understand what went wrong, and why her race now hunts the very people they were charged to protect.  

And what of the Faerie Apocalypse and the Vampire Apocalypse?  That remains to be seen in The Afterlight.

About the Author/Artist

Joseph Corsentino is a storyteller at heart, using photography as his medium.  Out of a long standing passion for science fiction and fantasy, and a desire to make these things relevant and accessible to the modern world, he created Time of the Faeries, an epic retelling of the Faerie mythology.  His work has won multiple awards, and can be seen in private collections and magazines all over the world.  His first book, published by Imaginosis Publishing, is a prologue into the Time of the Faeries universe.  Joseph is currently completing the four-part Afterlight graphic novel series and making appearances at conventions such as Dragon*con and Comic-Con.
