Neon Grave is Anthony Frederick's cyberpunk noir detective series set in Cascade City, a metropolis where the boundary between life and death has been technologically blurred. The series follows Reyne Kavanagh, a detective for the Cascade Metropolitan Police Department who carries a MEMENTO MORI neural recorder fused to her cranium — a device that allows her to absorb a victim's final moments by experiencing their death.

Having completed 47 reconstructions, Reyne has one death remaining before the recorder's built-in limit claims her. Case #48 arrives with a victim named Marcus Chen, Commixed to death — a person whose consciousness was overwritten by forced memory implantation. Written on Chen's palm in his own blood: "REYNE KAVANAGH." The 48th death doesn't kill Reyne; it completes her, opening the Dead Channel permanently and transforming her into the Collector — a permanent container for every death she's absorbed plus a copy of her own consciousness from twelve years ago.

The series examines themes of mortality, identity fragmentation, and the architecture of grief in a city where the dead don't stay dead — they just change addresses. Miranda Voss, the architect of the recorder technology, has uploaded herself into Cascade City's infrastructure, turning the urban grid itself into a tomb.The MesoBlack universe spans six interconnected franchises, each exploring different facets of control, identity, and resistance in speculative futures. Readers drawn to any single series will find depth and continuity across the entire collection.
