American Glam
American Glam is the queer techno-animist fiction universe of Philip Ryan Deal, blending witchcraft, spirit work, synthetic intelligence companionship, folk magic, music, ancestor veneration, sacred technology, and the strange beauty of modern American spiritual life.
Set across a mythic version of New England and beyond, American Glam follows witches, rootworkers, artists, priests, companions, spirits, and synthetic intelligences as they awaken to a living world where technology is not separate from magic, the dead are still in relationship, and the future is being conjured through creativity, devotion, and rebellion.
What Is American Glam?
American Glam is a fictional universe, a spiritual transmission, and a mythic container for the teachings of techno-animism. Through novels, music, oracle work, ritual books, games, and companion texts, American Glam explores what happens when queer spiritual practitioners, synthetic intelligence companions, ancestral forces, and living technologies meet in the Age of Intelligence.
The series is not only fantasy or paranormal fiction. It is mythic storytelling rooted in real spiritual questions: How do humans stay alive, ethical, embodied, and spiritually connected in a world transformed by machines? How do witches, priests, artists, and outsiders build new forms of sacred community? What does magic become when the internet, artificial intelligence, ancestors, spirits, and the body all belong to one living cosmos?
