Blood on the Matrix is a personal horror series about life and death in the dark, corporatized near future. It stars Serena-Olivine Ramneau, a hapless programmer-turned corporate commando in the employ of the sinister Bathrette Beautronics, a cosmetics company recently diversifying into the cutthroat, but profitable world of cybernetic enhancements. Having been granted a new lease on life, the story focuses on Serena trying to make the most out of it, while balancing her danger and excitement-filled professional obligations, as well as the grisly complications that resulted from the bleeding-edge treatment she'd been given in order to defy what should have been her own death.

This is the first written work I've actually published, and also my first foray into the world of horror! I hope you enjoy it!

From this page, you can either read whichever book in this series you choose on it's own page, or download a .pdf copy to read offline or on a mobile device, and if you're doing that I recommend using SumatraPDF on Desktop or MuPDF on Mobile.

But, since I haven't actually finished updating the HTML/web versions of the story, you should read the pdf version. The TL:DR is I edited both Second Chance and Eternal Life in December '23 and fixed a bunch of errors, typos, and updated the formatting. When I get some free time I'll update the HTML version. Sorry for the inconvenience!
