Beyond Blasters: Sci-Fi's Enduring Power in Social Commentary Today

Ever wonder why stories seem less enjoyable today? What if the biggest threats to humanity are already among us? Beyond the laser blasts and intergalactic empires, science fiction has always been a mirror reflecting our deepest fears and the most pressing issues of our time. Joe Prosit and I will talk about how stories like Wall-E, Starship Troopers, and Avatar actually dissected modern dilemmas and why these stories still resonate.

*Book Blurb*

A snarky vampire. A burned-out cop. A city gripped by a chilling wave of murders and a mysterious drug. What could possibly go wrong?

Gabe’s a detective whose career is circling the drain. Vampires took everything from him, but he's never been able to bring them to justice. Lily’s a centuries-old vampire with trust issues and a sharp tongue. When a string of supernatural murders pulls them together, they form the most reluctant crime-fighting duo since… well, ever.

They don't like each other. They don't trust each other. But to survive, they must unravel a mystery darker than either could imagine — or become its next victims.



Filled with sharp wit, tense banter, and creeping dread, the Blood Herring Trilogy drags you deep into a world where the rules aren’t just broken—they’re rewritten by the night.
