The Lozari Codex: The macabre, wonderous and luminous adventures of Ambrose Lozari.

Ambrose Lozari’s father often returned from hunting in the Alps north of Venice with tales of bizarre encounters with strange, other-worldly creatures. When the First World War leaves their family farm in ruins, Ambrose and his father flee to early 20th-century America.  

In this new world exploding with science and industry, Ambrose survives the death of his father to begin encountering the luminous, frightening, and impossibly strange himself. He relays eerie lore and experiences a collection of macabre and fantastic encounters like the Eidolon Shadow, The Red Knight, and The Marshland Cats.  

But when the door to magical unseen worlds is closed for Ambrose by a powerful entity, he loses his way. Spurred by a surprise discovery of his father’s, he embarks on one final journey back to Venice to confront a mystery that may save him… or consume him.
