Emi
The stunning new Horror Fantasy from the international bestselling author.
Their world ended. Humanity, burnt out by a global fever, is a distant memory, and the creatures that came before have returned.
Christopher isn’t a survivor, The Sickness killed him long ago. Still, he walks through the wild paradise that the world has become, believing that he is alone. Until he finds a little dead girl chained in the ruins of a barn.
Emi.
As these two unlikely companions experience the new world and its host of weird inhabitants together, it becomes clear that even for the undead, there is something very wrong with Emi. As Christopher remembers more of his humanity, and Emi slips further away from her own, it seems there is still something to lose for the ancient undying.
Inspired by Japanese folklore, Emi is a dreadfully lyrical Once Upon a Nightmare that asks the question: What is left to lose when the dead are all that remain?
