Residue - by John Harrison (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

"There are monsters among us. There have always been monsters among us."-The Ominosity

A dark psychic stain left on a devastated city.

A dark stain on the souls of the survivors.

A dark stain that will only be satisfied by violence and blood.

A disgruntled bus driver turns his vehicle into a weapon of mass murder in the crowded rush hour streets.

An impatient customer turns a convenience store into a bloodbath.

In the aftermath of a catastrophic New Year's Eve explosion in the heart of the city, Miki Preston embarks upon a treacherous odyssey into the devastated area known as the Quarantine Zone in search of her famous photojournalist sister, Jennifer, who has mysteriously disappeared.

With only the help of a disgraced former homicide detective, a cagey teenage street dodger, and a set of provocative photographs her sister left behind, Miki will come face to face with the manifestations of malevolent psychic energy called Paramentals-and the sinister conspiracy that created them.
