Dust jacket illustration by Dave McKean.

Subterranean is pleased to present a new 20,000 word contemporary fantasy novella by Tim Powers, featuring wraparound dust jacket art and design by Dave McKean.

What do you do if the man you’ve vowed to kill dies before you can kill him?

In college, Tom Holbrook worshipped Shasta DiMaio from afar, but she married the arrogant John Atwater—and Atwater eventually murdered her.

All that’s left for Tom is revenge. He has devoted the rest of his life to finding Atwater and killing him—but when he finally finds him, Atwater is in a bag in the Los Angeles County morgue.

How do you kill a man who has already died?
