Dead Boys
Gabriel Squailia
In the decade since his untimely death, Jacob Campbell has carved out his niche as Dead City?s most successful preservationist, keeping his fellow corpses looking lifelike for as long as the unstoppable entropy of the afterlife will allow. But there's little to do in the Land of the Dead except drink, thieve, and gamble eternity away, and the monotony of such an existence will drive Jacob to abandon his home for a chance to find the Living Man.
According to legend, the Living Man was the only person to cross into the underworld without dying first. It?s rumored that he met his end somewhere in the labyrinth of pubs beneath Dead City?s streets, disappearing without a trace. Now Jacob?s vow to find the Living Man, and trace his path back to the world of the living, will send him on a perilous journey through an underworld where the only certainty is decay.
Accompanying him are the boy Remington, an innocent with mysterious powers over the bones of the dead, and the hanged man Leopold l?Eclair, a flamboyant rogue whose criminal ambitions spark the undesired attention of the shadowy ruler known as the Magnate.
An ambitious debut that mingles the fantastic with the philosophical, Dead Boys twists the well-worn epic quest into a compelling, one-of-a-kind work of weird fiction that transcends genre, recalling the novels of contemporary authors China Miéville and Neil Gaiman.
