The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu by Ernest Hemingway and Jorah Kai

The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu by Ernest Hemingway and Jorah Kai

On April 1, 2025 Cthulhu Will Rise

If you enjoyed the runaway success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, now a hit Hollywood movie and international bestseller, you'll love The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu. Embark on a haunting odyssey with this masterful reimagining of the great American novel, merging the existential desolation of Ernest Hemingway's iconic characters with the dark, cosmic terror of H.P. Lovecraft. Brought to life by Hemingway, the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author renowned for The Old Man and the Sea, and Jorah Kai, the modern minstrel of the macabre celebrated for the darkly psychedelic international bestseller Amos the Amazing, this novel resurrects a cherished classic into a realm of unimaginable nightmares and unfathomable dread.
Meet Jack Schitt, Ro'brt Ctholh'en, Brett Ashley, Creepy Bill, and their eclectic band as they traverse the haunting landscapes of Europe. Pursuing love and freedom, they encounter an ancient horror from the deepest depths—a terror intent on resurrecting elder gods and shattering the fabric of existence, beginning its dark crusade in the recesses of their fragile minds.
This tale, reflecting the Lost Generation's struggle for meaning, resonates with our deepest fears and desires. It charts a path through relentless longing, from Cthulhu's eldritch terror to the poignant struggles of love and identity, reaffirming Ernest Hemingway as the greatest modern English writer in history and Jorah Kai as an unforgettable voice in modern horror. This is a re-defining book of a generation, a century after the original was first published

Amos the Amazing

Amos the Amazing

A 'Chinese Rock 'N Roll Harry Potter' meets 'A Darker Alice in Wonderland'

What happens when you take an almost-famous D&D dungeon master with a history of headlining major music festivals and breathing fire in the circus and send him to a mountain in China to sit alone with his own thoughts? A new epic solarpunk fantasy novel, somewhere between a 'Chinese Rock 'N Roll Harry Potter' and a 'Darker Alice in Wonderland.'

Finding time can be difficult in today’s hypermodern world. Making time, however, can be magick.

In 2038, in the SOLARPUNK futuristic city of Chongqing, a dangerous story gets told that threatens our entire multiverse. The world’s spiciest ice cream, a trip to Chongqing’s rural countryside, & a strange collection of curious belongings begin this unforgettable tale that mixes Solar Punk science fiction and high fantasy for a thrilling modern fairytale about a boy who risks his soul to chase a 9-tail fox into the dreamlands for the adventure of a lifetime and the chance to save his family.

 

"A fun YA coming-of-age solarpunk fantasy that's oozing with creativity and imagination." - Marie Sinadjan, ‘Humans Media’

"I absolutely adore Amos. Like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings." @book_st_gram

"My favorite book of the year." - Brooke Auckerman @BrookLovesBooks23

"Full of excitement, adventure, and magic" - @lisabookishlife

"Once it got me turning the pages, I simply couldn't stop. For me, that was the theme of Taoist thought, which gets me every time I encounter it in the wild. It is so beautiful -- and here it is, like finding grass growing from glass. For other readers, the element that snags and pulls the imagination into this story might be one of a hundred others. That's kind of this book's magic…" - @Donasbooks

"The end left me gasping for the next installment," - Richard Devall, Vine Voice

About the Book

Amos, a puckish 12-year-old boy who hides his insecurities behind a mask of mischief, dons strange artifacts he uncovers from his father’s childhood bedroom. A peculiar power pulses through his body as he slips into a world of magic and monsters, where the dangerous-amber-eyed huli jing—a nine-tailed fox spirit—draws him out, steals his soul, and poisons his grandpa.

Against all odds, Amos chases the fox into the dreamland, where he meets friends and foes along the way on a perilous and fantastic journey to recover his soul before all is lost. A spine-tingling adventure full of imaginative characters and dazzling creatures, Amos the Amazing will delight adults, teens, and anyone who dares peer beyond the shadows.

Jorah Kai

Someone once told Jorah Kai to write what he knew, but since he was 12 and knew very little, the avid reader set off on a lifelong journey to master a variety of esoteric lore. He’s been a lifelong student, martial artist, musician, English teacher, writer, newspaper columnist, editor, web designer, dance music producer and touring DJ, black rock city existential detective and philosopher, fire-breathing gypsy circus performer, standup comedian, and family man; which offered many profound insights into the human condition before uprooting his life and moving to a city of 34 million people halfway across the planet.

Kai enjoys conversing in foreign languages because it’s more mysterious, and he enjoys playing guitar and eating pizza as much as he hopes you love this book. He lives at the confluence of two mighty rivers, the Yangtze and the Jialing, with a large and loving family for many years as a human being and then forever after as the most immortal of all supernatural beasts, a writer.

Kai’s Diary (The Invisible War)

Kai’s Diary (The Invisible War)

A feverish fear …  what began as a memoir, and a goodbye,  became a story of triumph against the virus,  and a lighthouse in the storm.

My name is Jorah Kai, and I am a bard. My band, The Root Sellers, headlined festivals, played Olympics and produced albums on every continent. I was a full-time detective in a mythical part-time city, solving existential mysteries for lost and weary travelers. You may have heard of me.

One day I disappeared, wandering until I found misty mountains that shrouded the ancient Chinese city of Ba along the mighty Jialiang and Yangtze rivers. Today, it is called Chongqing. I am a married man, a teacher, and a humble writer, happily obscure, until a virus smaller than a . stopped the world in its tracks.

On the first day of the year of the metal rat, the beginning of a novel 60-year cycle, everything changed.  OneA deadly virus, full of creeping, cosmic horror, used us as carriers.

This is the story of the first 60 days of COVID-19, as I learned, day by day, what it was and what it could do. I tried to warn you it was coming, and some prepared, but many did not. This is the story of how Chongqing stood tall when many other cities fell.

This is not how the story ends, but this is how it began.

About the Book

A feverish fear … 

what began as a memoir, and a goodbye, 

became a story of triumph against the virus, 

and a lighthouse in the storm.  

“A fantastic piece of writing. As a virus fanatic, (it’s) a fascinating and horrifying breakdown…as gripping as the best mystery novel, or apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. My curious hunger fuelled by burning interest and chilling horror cannot stop reading every word, turning every page.” – Rhett Morita

“Jorah Kai is the canary in the coal mine. His notes from beyond the start of this pandemic should serve as a roadmap for how to survive what it looks like we are all, sadly, going to go through.” – Myagi
