The Invisibles, Volume 1: Say You Want a Revolution

The narrative follows Dane McGowan, a rebellious teenager from Liverpool who is recruited into a secret cell of anarchists known as the Invisibles. Led by the enigmatic King Mob, the group initiates Dane into a clandestine war against the Archons of Outer Church, interdimensional entities that maintain global control through psychological and social manipulation. The story moves from a correctional facility for wayward youth to the occult underground of London, introducing team members like the psychic drag queen Lord Fanny and the former police officer Boy. These characters utilize chaos magic, psychedelic substances, and guerrilla tactics to subvert reality and resist the encroaching forces of total authoritarianism.

Readers interested in counterculture, speculative fiction, and the intersection of occultism with political fringe movements gravitate toward this work. It appeals to those seeking a dense, non-linear plot that fuses conspiracy theories with punk rock sensibilities. A reader finishes the volume with a vocabulary of sigil magic and an understanding of the ontological struggle between individual freedom and systemic order. It functions as a manual for questioning consensus reality, providing a framework for viewing historical events and modern governance as tools of occult conditioning.

Deep and open-ended; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Deep Diver. Which reader are you?
