The Janus Cycle can best be described as gritty, surreal, urban
fantasy. The over-arching story revolves around a nightclub called
Janus, which is not merely a location but virtually a character in
its own right. On the surface it appears to be a subcultural hub
where the strange and disillusioned who feel alienated and
oppressed by society escape to be free from convention; but
underneath that facade is a surreal space in time where the very
foundations of reality are twisted and distorted. But the special
unique vibe of Janus is hijacked by a bandwagon of people who
choose to conform to alternative lifestyles simply because it has
become fashionable to be "different", and this causes many of its
original occupants to feel lost and disenchanted. We see the story
of Janus unfold through the eyes of eight narrators, each with
their own perspective and their own personal journey. A story in
which the nightclub itself goes on a journey. But throughout, one
character, a strange girl, briefly appears and reappears warning
the narrators that their individual journeys are going to collide
in a cataclysmic event. Is she just another one of the nightclub's
denizens, a cynical mischief-maker out to create havoc or a
time-traveller trying to prevent an impending disaster?
