Frogtown - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Welcome to Frogtown, where a rumor begets an act of vengeance that spirals into chaos. Guns are pulled from hidden places, and what follows is an unsettling encounter with a spirit sent from the underworld with a message.

As the boundary between the living and the dead blurs, Frogtown becomes a battleground for the souls that have been lost, and unsettling myths that resurface from the shadows. In the midst of this, a troubled young man known only as Coyote finds himself drawn into a strange journey. Walking in a web of supernatural forces, gang rivalries, and a neighborhood on the brink of a disruptive real estate development. What he discovers is a battle between reality and myth.

Coyote's search leads him through a surreal, distorted Los Angeles, where highways mimic the ocean, bridges are cluttered with forgotten love locks, and a river teems with frogs and shadows. As he descends into a labyrinth of tunnels where time warps and strange creatures lurk, his memories return as collage bits of a lost mural. Frogtown, once a place of childhood memories, is now a forgotten landscape, haunted by the loss of a lush community of frogs, and the creeping sense that something far darker lies beneath the surface.

The story unfolds through fragmented recollections and vivid imagery, immersed in a narrative of guilt, dislocation, and the search for meaning in a crumbling world. Coyote is surrounded by strange and cryptic figures, each with their own pieces of a larger puzzle. Malvina Angelica Del Rio Porciúncula, a mysterious woman with knowledge of the hero's past, guides him through this eerie landscape, while Baby One Punch, a chaotic and dangerous character marked by prophetic tattoos, holds the power to manipulate fear and chaos, and also his heart.

Alongside these enigmatic figures, the hero uncovers the legend of the Immortal Matador - a spirit who defies death as the relentless guardian of a secret treasure - and comes face to face with a terrifying serial killer, Tres Dedos, whose actions are tied to the Coyote’s past, intertwining their fates. As the urban myths of lizard people, underground tunnels, and hidden societies make themselves known, the Coyote is forced to confront not just the darkness of the city but the darkness within himself.

Frogtown is a journey through the heart of a fractured world, where the supernatural and the real collide, and the price of uncovering truth may be more than the hero is willing to pay. In a city where the dead walk among the living, and the line between myth and reality is thin, Coyote’s fate hangs in the balance as he plunges deeper into the depths of Los Angeles' darkest secrets.
