Steven Grant Mortal Souls Volume 1

By Philip Xaiver and Steven Grant

The master of crime comics, Steven Grant, unleashes his most haunting workyet Human beings are a merger of body and soul, but the two don't die at thesame rate. Sometimes one outlives the other. When a soul outlives its body, wecall 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, thehusks 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 merecondition of being completely alive. Pursuing an unpredictable killer, policedetective 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 andunderscored by a puckish world view, MORTAL SOULS blends the rhythms of horrorcomics and crime comics. And it's going places neither crime nor horror comicshave ever been before.
