After Hope Dies
Descripción editorial
Living in the shadow of a once-great nation, the children of Eastern America have two options for survival: either work in assembly lines to make cheap phones for China, or work in brothels. Young Janelle chose the latter and ended up dead because of it. That is, until a monster brought her back to life...
This is what happens after America dies: the monsters take over. A young prostitute's reanimated soul now prowls the streets, seeking revenge against her killers. The reclusive nerd who lives next door suffers from a serious problem that goes far beyond the time-bending demon infesting his body. And across town, an occult guide owns a brothel where you can buy a child for cheap.
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this dark literary fantasy debut examines life for the most disadvantaged who call post-prosperity America home.
