NEON THEATER

Four nights. Four worlds. Absolutely no guarantee of a happy ending.

No prerequisite philosophy. No compulsory shared canon. Just four different worlds, each with its own characters, storytelling language, and reason to come back. Welcome to Neon Stage, the entertainment wing of Electric Icarus Publishing.

NEON THEATER · THE FOUR GENRES

Four Nights. Four Genres. Infinite Possibilities.

Welcome to Neon Theater, the storytelling stage of Electric Icarus Publishing, where the extraordinary takes many forms.

Our original programming is organized through four distinct creative identities, each offering a different approach to fiction, imagination, and the human condition.

CyberGrit ventures into futures where technology advances faster than civilization can handle.

Paradox Pulp investigates impossible realities through mystery, absurdity, and cosmic contradiction.

Myth-Tech explores worlds where mythology and technology become inseparable forces of creation, transformation, and destruction.

Neon Grit confronts the collision of American mythology, institutional power, cultural decay, and technological change.

These aren’t rigid boundaries or separate universes. They’re storytelling lenses, each capable of supporting original series, standalone adventures, anthologies, and future productions.

You don’t need to know the mythology to enter. You only need to choose a door.

Welcome to the stories behind the spectacle.

Tuesday · Bingo Space Jumper #5

SCI-FI · ADVENTURE · ABSURDIST COMEDY

Bingo Space Jumper #5 CyberGrit Tuesday title card with the casino nebula, slot machine reels, and pilot Ira Lucky Fenway.

Join Ira “Lucky” Fenway and Klink as they gamble across experimental Bingo Pod jumps, alien syndicates, and destinations nobody sane would choose voluntarily.

One Ticket. Infinite Destinations. Absolutely No Refunds.

Premiere published: Episode 001 — Three Symbols and a Bad Idea is live.

Thursday · Dr. Elias Locke — The Quantum Conundrum

PARADOX PULP · MYSTERY · SCI-FI · DARK SATIRE

The Quantum Conundrum Paradox Pulp Thursday title card showing a noir investigator, black cat, and multiverse portals.

The doctor is in. Unfortunately, so are several other versions of him. Investigations, conspiracies, dimensional absurdities, and a multiverse producing people who should probably never be allowed near scientific equipment.

Reality is relative. Competence is optional. Premiere published: Episode 001 — The Man Who Knocked Twice is live, complete with cover and interior illustrations.

Saturday · Survive: Neon Slumlight

DYSTOPIAN SCI-FI · BODY HORROR · SURVIVAL

Survive: Neon Slumlight Myth-Tech promotional title card showing an industrial neon fortress and Fog.

An industrial civilization of frontier syndicates, biomechanical technology, territorial magic, and entertainment built on human suffering. On a forgotten island, survival is a spectacle, the Fog consumes reality, and the audience watches from somewhere much safer.

The show must go on. The contestants are less enthusiastic. Myth-Tech premiere live: Episode 001 — The Drop.

Sunday · Golden Buck Cult

NOIR WESTERN · CRIME · CONSPIRACY THRILLER

Golden Buck Cult Neon Grit promotional title card showing a gold stag and mysterious hat-wearing operative in a neon-lit western town.

Beneath the dust, money, violence, and cultivated respectability lies the Order of the Golden Buck. An interconnected noir-western anthology unfolds through three layers: The Stag, The Buck Hunt, and The Order. Procedural investigation meets clandestine conspiracy.

Everybody’s hunting something. Not everybody knows they’re the prey. Neon Grit premiere live: Episode 001 — Paid in Full.

Episode 002 published — Sunday, November 1: The Cost of Forgiveness.
