About Andy
Andy Futuro writes dark, strange fiction from the edges of the possible.His debut novel No Dogs in Philly blends Lovecraftian horror with cyberpunk noir in a futuristic Philadelphia crawling with ancient gods and corporate rot. The sequel, Cloud Country, sends PI Saru Solan across a shattered world on the run from everything — gods, monsters, and her own past.Andy lives in Vermont and is fueled by black coffee and a deep suspicion of the present moment. When he’s not writing about ruined futures and cosmic dread, he’s making music in the same off-kilter spirit.
