Synopsis

Everything's an insult when your soul is bankrupt.

Joey and Wayland may have returned to Baltimore after their deaths, but things are not the same through eyes tainted by death. The city seems darker, the graffiti louder, and a meltdown is only a hair-trigger away. Joey's ready for everything to go back to normal, but that might not be possible when every time she's around Wayland, he's dripping with someone's freshly spilled blood. Meanwhile, Jag's losing his patience with Joey's preference for her serial killer best friend.

Desperate to keep her life together in a somewhat recognizable way, Joey discovers that a local medium might have a way to calm the regret-fueled rage that plagues both her and Wayland, driving them both further out of control with each passing day. In hopes of a return to normal, she sets out to ask the authorities of the afterlife to grant her and Wayland a real second chance.

The ravens stalking her promise that if she doesn't move quickly, she may lose everything she cares about. With a past and a future that can't compromise, tragedy doesn't spare the indecisive.

About this title

About the Author

Probably not a serial killer, Ian Kirkpatrick is an author of speculative fiction, satire, and literary fiction with elements of scifi, horror, and comedy. Her credentials are these: an MFA in Creative Writing, a BA in Theater, and an intense interest in psychology and incongruity. She's particularly obsessed with human nature, rationale, morality, good and evil, absurdity, and the supernatural bend you can find between mythology and reality, so her fiction will often contain these elements. She particularly enjoys using exaggeration, contrast, and incongruity to paint the worlds she creates. While she writes across genres, these elements will often still be found in her works along with innocent characters, psychopathic characters, or a combination of the two.
