Blackout Over the Radiant City

In 1938's teeming metropolis, a mysterious blackout plunges streets into unnatural night. When a crashed meteorite and an experimental "cosmic ray" transmitter converge beneath the city's lamp-lit avenues, victims begin to sprout uncanny luminescence and monstrous deformities. As panic and rumor sweep from newsroom to patrol wagon, a stubborn reporter and a disgraced physicist race to unmask a conspiracy that would weaponize radium's weird power. Thrilling, paranoia-laced, and pulsing with pulp-era science, Blackout Over the Radiant City blends air-raid suspense with the era's anxieties about unseen rays and the price of tampering with nature.
