The Grieving Soul (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781985717848)

Find the cure for death and death returns with the cure for life ...No one knows why it happened, yet there is no denying that after the miracle cure for death was announced, the dead began to live and the living began to die. Unnatural creatures swept through the natural world and made it their own, and for four years the monsters hunted and consumed every living thing until only a few survivors remained.Clara Jacobs is a thirteen-year-old girl who loves to draw monsters. She does this so she has something to leave behind to the world after the monsters kill her, and in particular she draws the Fisherman: a creature capable of creating lakes of ice wherever he pleases, feeding on all the life that his ice can swallow.Evelyn Jacobs is Clara's mother and she keeps a rifle in her hands at all times. Guns have no effect on the creatures, but the monsters are not what Evelyn dreads. She fears that this haunted world has turned all life into a despicable threat, and not just the unnatural dead.And Vic Marshalls ... well, he's a goddamned artist, and he includes everything he does and says in that definition of art, the clothes he wears and the way he spits both rating highly among his collective masterpieces. His mission in life, however, is to kill just one monster: the Grieving Soul. This creature has condemned an entire city to an eternal rain of hopelessness and grief, making the very buildings weep as the Grieving Soul walks their streets. Vic is willing to do anything he can to achieve this goal, but is the price of salvation truly worth his own damnation? To rid the world of monsters, must the human heart take monstrous form?There has to be a better way.
