Overview

""Weirdly uplifting in a time when real politics NEEDS IT!"" GenX Ziners Weirdly uplifting? Absolutely. Something strange is stirring, and people everywhere can feel it. Who is So-Lar, and how are they connected to the Order of the Solar Temple, the real-world cult behind shocking crimes in the 1990s? Why do all clues point to one impossible place: an old amusement-park carousel, glowing with strings of lights and crowded with fantastical creatures: angels, unicorns... and things no one can quite name? Magic is rising. Mysteries are multiplying. Seven children are on their way. But who are they? And where are they coming to? From globe-trotting agents hunting a dangerous religious movement to a troubled teen dreaming of the world's end, the Seven Children of God are approaching, and it may not matter what anyone believes. Or is belief the only thing that does matter? From fantasy to politics, and all the complications of modern human beings... at its heart, The Seven Children of God is a philosophical odyssey: a meditation on belief, coexistence, and the fragile magic of being human. The narrative unfolds across borders and ideologies, asking readers to interpret the meaning of the ""Seven Children"" for themselves. As the plot unravels, so do the characters, each confronting truths that are more (or less) than they seem.

Author Information

Mord McGhee is a two-time Bram Stoker Award nominee, Harriet Beecher Stowe Prize nominee, Maya Angelou Book Award nominee, and winner of the Dan Poynter Science Fiction Award. His work has earned praise from George Romero, NYT bestselling author Steve Alten, and cultural figures across horror, adventure nonfiction, and cryptozoology. A pioneer of early cyberpunk, McGhee writes at the intersection of psychological horror, speculative technology, and historical mystery. His novels-including Murder Red Ink, Ghosts of San Francisco, Ghosts of the Golden Triangle, Ghosts of the Girl: Anna's Odyssey, Ironblood, The Seven Children of God, Old Flames and Heroes, and De Lawd's Watah-explore the dark architecture of human consciousness and the shadows cast by history, trauma, faith, and machine intelligence. In addition to his literary career, McGhee is an associate executive producer, executive investor, and financier on multiple feature films. His IMDb-verified credits include work on Fackham Hall (2025), My Dead Friend Zoe (2024), The Man in the White Van (2023), You Can Call Me Bill (2023), and the upcoming Fade to Black. His film collaborations include projects starring Morgan Freeman, Edward Norton, Sean Astin, John Carroll Lynch, Zosia Mamet, Karan Soni, Betty Gabriel, Joseph Lee, Max Carver, and Ali Larter, extending his storytelling influence into cinema. McGhee's work has been described as ""intense, graphic, provocative"" (Steve Alten), ""a badass page-turner"" (George Romero), and ""a uniquely intellectual American novel"" (Loren Coleman). With forty years in speculative fiction, a background in Ripperology, and a lifelong fascination with paleontology and AI, he continues to build a body of work that bridges literature, film, and the evolving frontier of genre storytelling.
