Between Curses and Gifts: Christopher is the first part of a dark, slow-burn saga where genre boundaries blur and nothing unfolds the way you expect. This series opens with gritty realism and gradually peels back layers, moving deeper into a mythic underworld, one shaped by political unrest, personal tragedy, and ancient forces that can’t be controlled. The tone? Think Out of the Furnace for its brotherhood and despair, The Revenant for its brutal survival, The Hulk (Norton/Bana) for internal conflict and pursuit, and Terminator 2 for its relentless chase. Then layer in a growing supernatural undercurrent, mythological echoes, and a Constantine like descent that leads straight to Hell by book three
