Bleak History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781416584124)

Already optioned for feature film, an original dark and gritty urban fantasy novel from acclaimed and award-winning author John Shirley!

In near-future New York City, bounty hunter Gabriel Bleak, a man blessed and cursed with the ability to communicate with the dead, is relentlessly hunted by a clandestine government organization with mysterious links to his past. Now Bleak and the Shadow Community--a slowly growing underground group with supernatural abilities--must uncover the looming danger brought about by those at the upper echelons of power, or else risk a return to the dark ages...where an unimaginable evil awaits.

Vivid, surreal, and suspenseful, Bleak History is an intensely thrilling read from an author whose stories "give off the chill of top-grade horror" (The New York Times Book Review).
