No Dogs in Philly (Table of Contents)
A Cyberpunk Horror Noir
Book 1 in the Special Sin Series
Philadelphia. Elzi on every corner, cops just itching to crack a skull, and the Gaespora lordin' it up in their high towers while the rest of the filth dribbled down the sewer. Saru had a way out. All she had to do was find the girl, one skinny stray with blue, blue eyes—bluer than anyone had ever seen—and ten million fat bucks were hers. Except someone was killing blue-eyed girls, and they were A-list, major-league, cold-sweat effective. And something about the end of all existence if she failed.

Andy Futuro’s “No Dogs in Philly” is a gripping journey into a dystopian cyberpunk landscape, that seamlessly blends gritty noir with chilling sci-fi horror. From the moment you open the book, it pulls you into an immersive futuristic Philadelphia teeming with dark secrets, alien mysteries, and god-like beings.
The story follows Saru Solan, a hardened, streetwise, tough as nails private investigator armed with advanced implants, a brain-linked pistol, and a razor-sharp wit, as she races against time to locate a girl connected to an entity known as the Blue God. Saru’s journey through the city’s neon-soaked alleys and shadowy depths is fraught with relentless foes, strange associates, and hostile adversaries, including a host of monstrous beings known as the Elzi and the even more terrifying feasters. This environment creates a pulse-pounding narrative that keeps you on edge with the turn of every page.
What sets No Dogs in Philly apart is Futuro’s astonishing world-building and the vivid, haunting atmosphere he weaves. The cityscape pulses with both life and death, chilling, beautiful, haunting, dreamlike, and unforgettable all simultaneously etched into the mind of the reader with an almost hallucinatory clarity. Futuro’s exploration of cyberpunk horrors and the unsettling philosophical undertones surrounding humanity’s declining status resonate long after the final chapter, leaving a profound and lasting mental impact.
Not since Richard Paul Russo’s Destroying Angel have I encountered a narrative so compelling, so alive with intrigue and imagination. For fans of dystopian cyberpunk thrillers, relentless protagonists, and wholly unique worlds that challenge the boundaries of the reader’s sanity, “No Dogs in Philly” is an unmissable masterpiece.
This is a great series. Love your style.
