Gods and Monsters Installment 2:

Beginnings

River and Gabriel

“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness…

We only exist …

in the zone where black and white clash.” — Louis Aragon

LAST WEEK: We met the Fates, Morta, Decima, and Nona, who run a small occult shop in San Francisco where they weave together the lives of this story. We also met the half-human, half-vampire crossbreed Gabriel, who has the ability to make vampires lose track of time. And Jasmine—a vampire who met her end in Gabriel’s bed as the morning light turned her to ashes. Read the first installment here. See all installments here. Read the next installment here.
