More jolt than stepping barefoot on a livewire. With mutants crouching in the shadows. No-holds-barred horror fantasy a la Stephen King. A girl who died now walks among the living. Sam’s nemesis, Drake, is also back from the dead. As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid vs the Town Council, the Human Crew vs the mutants, & Sam against Drake. Meanwhile, the prophetess Orsay & her companion, Nerezza, are preaching that death is the only escape from the FAYZ. Are the kids of Perdido Beach desperate enough to listen?
