In this vicious, genre-bending ghost story, The Outsiders meets The Crow in a sharp examination of the lust for power, the legacy of redemption, and what happens when the haunted want revenge.In the shadowy world of the Lower Alleys lives a gang of delinquents known as the Creeps. Living just to survive, they fight and steal without regard for who they hurt—after all, it’s their victim’s own fault they have food and money and are standing right there. But when one of their members, Suffer, learns he can fall through the shadows of their world into the light of our world, there’s suddenly hope for more.For Suffer, our world holds the promise of light and love with Andromeda—a girl that resembles a future where he no longer suffers alone. For the rest of the Creeps, though, our world is an opportunity for wealth, meaning, and power, no more so than for their leader, Planet. At first, the Creeps can only appear as invisible, powerless ghosts. But as they grow stronger, they soon learn how to be seen, heard, and felt, growing more brutal and maniacal by the day.Suffer wants out, desperate to stop the monster he’s loosed on the world in Planet. But when the rest of the Creeps threaten Andromeda, he has no choice but to miserably give in and keep haunting with them. It isn’t until a vicious possession that he’s had enough, but even his resolve can’t save Andromeda from unspeakable violence.Now it’s the Creeps’ turn to be haunted. Driven by grief and rage, Andromeda finds a way into the Creeps’ dark world, and she won't stop until they all pay for what they have done, even Suffer.
