The Automation

The Automation is an indie, mythpunk novel by an anonymous author using the dual pen names B.L.A. and G.B. Gabbler, about the god Vulcan's Automata which function off their human Master's souls. Gabbler is known as the "" and annotates the story, as if it was just a work of literature, through footnotes while B.L.A. is the "Narrator" and tells the fantastical story as if it were true. The Automation is the first volume in a projected trilogy called the Circo del Herrero series, or The Blacksmith's Circus series.
