Snow Lantern Bazaar

Dieselpunk Sci-Fi • Dystopian Thriller • Atmospheric Noir • Post-Apocalyptic Mystery

Short Description:

In a city buried beneath eighteen years of endless winter, warmth is more valuable than gold—and memories of the world before the frost are sold like contraband.

Jasper Quinn survives by trafficking illegal memory capsules through the frozen underworld of Snow Lantern Bazaar, where desperate citizens pay fortunes to relive fleeting sensations of rain, sunlight, and summer air. But when a dying courier places a mysterious unregistered capsule in his hands, Jasper uncovers something impossible: proof that the endless winter may have been manufactured.

Now hunted by the ruthless Ministry of Stasis, Jasper is pulled into a conspiracy hidden beneath layers of ice, steam, and forgotten history. As the city tightens its grip around him, he must decide whether the truth is worth risking the last fragile warmth left in humanity.

Dark, cinematic, and hauntingly immersive, Snow Lantern Bazaar is a dieselpunk sci-fi noir about memory, survival, and the dangerous cost of hope.
