Adman Timothy Hole has everything going for him and has now been handed the biggest assignment of his life, marketing a major cola in Russia. But his smooth life begins to unravel as he is stalked by a demonic child that makes him question not just who he is, but how he really effects those around him. It is about the little murders that we all have to make each day just to get by. The little assassinations of tiny things. Really, how much damage can be done by a small killing? This work is much more than a sophisticated thriller, it is a nonlinear masterpiece, from the writer who has defined adult graphic novels! As an added bonus this graphic novel includes a new commentary article by both Alan Moore and the artist Oscar Zarate.

Readership: Mature Readers
Format: B&W, 72 pages square bound
ISBN: 1592910033
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The master of crime comics, Steven Grant, unleashes his most haunting work yet! Human beings are a merger of body and soul, but the two don't die at the same rate. Sometimes one outlives the other. When a soul outlives its body, we call it a ghost. We have no word for what happens when a body outlives its soul. But the Hebrew Qabalists did. That word is "qelipoth": meaning, literally, the husks of the dead. They're dangerous creatures, once men but now without souls, consumed by their own emptiness and hunger and hating the living for the mere condition of being completely alive. Pursuing an unpredictable killer, police detective Eric Sharpe watches his life turn into a waking nightmare as he gains "the sight" - and he discovers Qelipoth not only exist, but they are everywhere. And now they want him dead. Punctuated with bloody staccato action and underscored by a puckish world view, Mortal Souls blends the rhythms of horror comics and crime comics. And it's going places neither crime nor horror comics have ever been before.
