"... a great, fun read!" - Alison Tafel (Bojack Horseman)
"Epically epic... all of [my] senses were hit." - David Hill (Wrecked, The Chi)
Grim adventure awaits you in MERE MORTALS . . . When Alex Barker, a 4th grade schoolteacher, and Bennett Hunter, a marine vet, die on the same night, they are brought back and told, one by Heaven and one by Hell, they must catch a runaway demon or face oblivion. To do so, they will have to master the powers of the afterlife and find the rogue demon, a nameless creature which has possessed a hulking human male, and become something else . . . the enigmatic Joseph.
Alex and Bennett will encounter horrifying monsters, battle murderous cults, and make friends and allies with creatures from another world, as they traverse deadly, wondrous landscapes, uncovering the depth of the demon’s dark plans, and the spirit world from which he came: an alternate reality called UnEarth.
