But in reality, the supernatural blend of demons, angels, and the end of the world in the latest from writer Christopher Sebela, artist Kendall Goode, and ONI Press is far stranger than anyone would ever expect.
The book lives up to the name, beginning with its protagonist Kat, a stoner with a flexible moral code who, thanks to a near-death experience, can see and hear the dead… and absorb them into a space inside her own head, to transport them to a final resting place.
