Monstrous gods exist. Their names are familiar to a few who read the unwanted histories. Their names are whispered by their followers. They are the Great Old Ones Cthulhu, Ithaqua, Hastur, and their ilk, children of even more ancient creatures such as Shub-Niggurath and Yog-Sothoth.
The Great Old Ones are worshiped by a tiny population of genetically-altered humans gathered in lineages called Families. They prey on the Cattle most of the rest of humankind.
But one of these terrible Families, the Tamelins, has given birth to two sisters who are unique in showing signs of compassion for humanity, even love.
"Colder" follows Talitha Tamelin, the younger of these two siblings. A shy and acerbic woman in her thirties living alone in an expensive Seattle apartment, she has no friends and maintains a life of seclusion nurturing a bewildered disgust for the rest of her fellow humans. It wasn't always this way she used to happy and loving, like her sister was and still is, but now she wonders how she could be a part of humanity.
Events set into motion by an Outer God called Nyarlathotep will show her she is not.
Three thousand miles away, FBI Special Agent Shaman Esker is investigating mass kidnapping sites where some of the country’s greatest minds are disappearing. Agent Esker is led to Dr. Nurea Astound, a native – a species born of Earth – but not at all human.
Dr. Astound has, bottled up in a sealed chamber, a True Human a member of the rare but potent original inhabitants of Earth, untouched by the genetic tampering that has separated most of humanity into Cattle and Families. He is called Celine, and his few kindred now battle the Families – and the Outer God that created them – in an effort to save the Cattle.
"Colder" offers grim but not hopeless answers to the questions of Who are we and Why are we the way we are. The novel begins the Tamelin Light trilogy. The second book, called "The Tamelin Light", will be available in 2017.

Set in the remote foggy (and soggy) backdrop of the Pacific Northwest's Olympic peninsula,"COLDER" is a chilling eye-opener for the uninitiated; ME. Not your garden variety horror/fantasy cult or sci-fi reader, I bought the book on a whim, never having read any previously published books by Alexander Bryant. The title "COLDER" was alluring and intriguing and is everything it conjures up. The writer applies an impressive imagination as you are led along an eerie path of in-depth scene-setting and character development that keeps interest piqued to its conclusion . . . or is it?COLDER is not for the faint of heart. You might need an extra blanket while reading this one (and good dead bolts for the entrances to your home).

Colder The Tamelin Light eBook Alexander Bryant Ben Swartout Reviews
Interesting. A contemporary fantasy, older gods walking the earth. Personally it's not my cup of tea - I prefer actual Chthulu rather than hints - but I can see those who enjoy Neil Gaimon reading this.
Every once in a while, something interesting comes from imaginary mashups of real people. Think Picasso at the Lapin Agile. That play provides an entertaining and occasionally thought provoking view of an imaginary interaction between Einstein and Picasso. Less well known, but perhaps more entertaining, Masks of the Illuminati envisions the interactions of Joyce and Crowley with Einstein, Freud, and others. Colder, by Alexander Bryant, does not describe the imaginary conversations that led to its creation, but it reads like the result of an epic pub crawl undertaken by Erich von Daniken, August Derleth, and Carl Sagan. Given the story's locale, that pub crawl certainly happened in Washington State.
Regardless of the origin, the result is an intriguing combination of contemporary fantasy. Bryant lacks the polish of Charles de Lint, but still manages to conjure up an interesting brew of Lovecraftian Mythos, Northwest imagery, and scientific sermonizing, with a Celine thrown in for good measure. While those elements are not new or unique, Bryant's mashup has promise.
Annelli and Talitha are demigod sisters, half breeds of "True Human" old one stock and what you and I would think of as normal humans. In many ways the Tamelin sisters are Yin and Yang. Annelli is unfailingly gracious, even when she is sending humans to be subjected to unspeakable alien modifications, and Talitha is as socially awkward as you would imagine any gifted-but-reclusive-scientist-who sucks-the-life-force-out-of-those-she-touches would be. Their family is locked in a battle with, against, and around a variety of Cthuluesque baddies. They are protecting me, and probably you too, though 's audience may be large enough to include some of the combatants. You know who you are.
The war plays out around the world, but the view provided by Bryant focuses on North America as its fringes are discovered by federal agents that would likely be on a first name basis with agents Mulder and Sculley. The battle at the war's epicenter is clearly shaping up on Washington's Olympic peninsula where the Tamelin sisters live in their ancestral home.
The result is an engaging but incomplete tale. Talitha's development, particularly her relationship with her father, thoughtfully explores the role of science in a modern world.
It is difficult to reconcile fantastic worlds, tales, and monsters with a scientific world view, but Bryant seems willing to attempt the task. Those of us looking for a completion will need to wait a little longer to see if he is capable of doing so in a credible way.
Reviewers Note Bryant has attempted to publish various versions of this tale over a number of years. My unpublished reviews of previous versions can best be described as scathing. If you have read an older version of this work throw it away, buy a new one, and pray that Bryant's sequels are as well edited as this version is.
As I started write this review I took a look at the review Tim Vaderr posted on 11 April 2018. Mr. Vaderr has read earlier versions of this story and says that this is much better than those. Well my summary reading note is "Why are we reading this nonsense?" and I suggest that Mr. Vaderr is being too gentle, the book is still a mess.
I received a review copy of "Colder (The Tamelin Light)" by Alexander Bryant (Reality Press) through NetGalley.com.
