Here is some more AI generated art, inspired by a scene from my novel ‘Blood Rage’. I used a prompt asking for an image of the apothecary and I used the description in the book. This is the result, and it turned out rather well. It is a close representation of the image I had in my head when I was writing the description. I hope you like it too.
Happy Reading!

The next city to plunge into the darkness is… Vancouver!
I’m a big fan of Vancouver City. In fact, I’ve only just returned from a holiday in Canada, and I spent some more time in Vancouver after having enjoyed the hospitality of this city in the past. But this re-imagined version of the city is not the Vancouver I know, and it makes me wonder if the seaplanes in the real world have been replaced by the dragons seen in the sky.
Here are some questions to tweak your dark curiosity…
When the storm clouds coil above the city, what runes awaken on the glass towers of Coal Harbour and why are they there?
What is the cost of passage paid by for the ferrymen to the serpents that dwell beneath Lions Gate Bridge — Do all their passengers make it to the other side?
Which forgotten gods breathe through the neon haze of Granville Street, feeding on the desires of wanderers?
When the fog rolls down from Grouse Mountain, what spectral beings cross the seawall unseen?
What ancient oath binds the ravens circling the Vancouver Lookout, and why do their eyes burn with green fire?
Which souls are trapped within the reflections of False Creek, pleading for release when the moon turns crimson?
When the rain falls black and heavy, what creatures rise from the alleys of Gastown to hunt by the flicker of lanterns?
What memory does the city itself keep — is there really a heartbeat echoing through glass, steel, and shadow — waiting for the one who can hear it?
