Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

On the day his career begins to collapse, history professor Andrew "True" North sees a family standing beside three roadside crosses.There is only one problem.They died there years ago.Soon, the dead are appearing all along an abandoned stretch of highway outside Madison. Their broken bodies reconstruct themselves from fog, static, and the adrenaline of the living. Some return searching for love, forgiveness, or one final connection. Others come back for vengeance.True is joined by Arielle Shay, an aquamarine-haired musician who answers terror with profanity, and Vance Klammer, a rigid but decent police officer whose faith in rules begins to crumble when the dead start walking. Together, the unlikely trio follows a trail of roadside memorials, buried crimes, and restless souls toward a truth more disturbing than any of them imagined.The dead are trapped. They are changing. And something powerful enough to frighten them is waiting beyond the living world.Blending supernatural horror, body horror, dark humor, mystery, and grief, The Road of Souls is a fast-moving novella about the unfinished business of the dead-and the living who must decide whether to help them heal or watch them become hunters.Revised Second Edition.
