Xan van Rooyen's Science Fiction novel SILVER HELIX has been sold to J.D. Harlock at Android Press. Silver Helix is a gritty, cyberpunk urban fantasy set in an alternate Helsinki where magic is pollution, and an exploration of Finnish mythology brings together an android assassin and the punk-roque non-binary target he's supposed to kill.
“Xan has a rare, lyrical quality to their writing, which makes Silver Helix such a thrilling and heart wrenching read,” says TRF agent Lindsay Leggett. “I'm so excited for readers to get lost in this world just as I did.”
SILVER HELIX is set for publication in fall 2023. For Film/TV inquiries, please reach out to karmen@therightsfactory.com









Backrooms Game are immersive horror experiences that bring the viral internet concept of the “Backrooms” to life through interactive exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival mechanics. Based on the idea of accidentally “noclipping” out of reality, the Backrooms represent an endless maze of yellowed walls, humming fluorescent lights, and unsettling emptiness. Backrooms games take this eerie concept and transform it into a tense, atmospheric journey where the player must navigate unfamiliar spaces while avoiding mysterious entities. The blend of psychological suspense, environmental storytelling, and unpredictability makes these games uniquely engaging within the horror genre.
