The Holocaust Engine by David Rike and Stephen Patrick
In celebration of the art and eye of Kabir Shah, who created all three covers for our series, we want to present a bit of the colors of Key West.
A brief look into the setting of The Holocaust Engine:
For David, “The Holocaust Engine” started as a dream/nightmare. In my dream it was an island off of the coast of California, but I haven’t been to California in ages. The storyline needed an area that could be easily cut off due to its geography and we already had a trip planned to Florida.
For Stephen, Key West is a stewpot of the weird, the strange, the eccentric and more than a few thing that defy explanation or even language. Equally important is the chance to turn a veritable “Paradise on Earth” into a living Hell.
What about you? What do you think of Key West as a setting? Any personal stories to share? Who knows, your favorite spot may find its way into the series.
