City of Apocrypha — Book Release Party - Open Registration

​A dark Valentine’s night of live reading, weird SF history, occult vibes, and a ritual-grade launch party for City of Apocrypha.

​At the turn of the millennium, San Francisco opened the wrong door.

​City of Apocrypha is a cult-classic urban fantasy about cheap rent, occult conspiracies, serial killers in Victorian basements, and a city secretly built as a massive sigil designed to open the gates of Hell.

​On Valentine’s Day 2026, we’re launching it the only way that makes sense: inside a downtown makerspace, surrounded by weirdos, artists, technologists, and occult romantics.

​We are transforming a 16-floor tower in San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village—a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. Tier-one labs presenting AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.
