The Agony of After

TO AVOID FAINTING
KEEP REPEATING,
IT’S ONLY A BOOK
…ONLY A BOOK
…ONLY A BOOK

A social worker arrives at a low-income housing complex for a routine intake, only to discover it will be anything but, as he is given a firsthand account of his client’s own form of sadistic therapy.

A group of twenty-somethings which takes pride in their ability to label and judge others discovers their LGBTQIA community has become the target of a series of hate crimes by a culprit who appears motivated by the writings of their own peerless leader.

A community is shaken as four children from four separate families are abducted on the same day, at the same time, in the same neighborhood, without any witnesses or apparent motives.

A wanderer with a memory longer than his lifespan drifts across the Trauma-wracked wasteland of Earth, finding companionship and purpose where he can until he is taken against his will by a creature with nefarious plans for the distant future.

Horrific, satirical, and necessarily uncomfortable, The Agony of After is a realization of what followed the events of The Blood of Before, and a pivotal piece of the secret history of The Bones of the Earth series.
