About this eBook

In Lost Gods, Brom, the artist and author of The Child Thief and Krampus, brings readers into a dark, fantastical, masterful mix of brilliant illustrations and dazzling prose.

A young man descends into Purgatory to save his wife and unborn child in this gorgeous, illustrated tale of wonder and terror from the mind of master storyteller and acclaimed artist Brom.

Fresh out of jail and eager to start a new life, Chet Moran and his pregnant wife, Trish, leave town to begin again. But an ancient evil is looming, and what seems like a safe haven may not be all it appears . . .

Snared and murdered by a vile, arcane horror, Chet quickly learns that pain and death are not unique to the living. Now the lives and very souls of his wife and unborn child are at stake.To save them, he must journey into the bowels of purgatory in search of a sacred key promised to restore the natural order of life and death. Alone, confused, and damned, Chet steels himself against the unfathomable terrors awaiting him as he descends into death’s stygian blackness.

With Lost Gods, Brom’s gritty and visceral writing takes us on a haunting, harrowing journey into the depths of the underworld. Thrust into a realm of madness and chaos, where ancient gods and demons battle over the dead, and where cabals of souls conspire to overthrow their masters, Chet plays a dangerous game, risking eternal damnation to save his family.

Ratings and reviews

I'm prolly out of my mind but I could've sworn I saw this in a movie and if it hasnt. I swear it might end up being turned into a movie because I honestly think this is a highly popular book that shouldnt be ignored and mind you these memories or whatever this is could possibly be my prediction or prolly true and if I remember clearly Mark walhberg was in it and played as Chet and this is one of those deadly yet very scary books you wanna pay attention too. T.T

An excellent read with great characters. I knew of Brom as an artist, but didn't realize what a great author he is too! A memorable read, and a physical book I'm happy to have on my bookshelf.

Distopian death scenario, with a bit of birth and life thrown in. Oh and dont forget the angels and demons. Awesome
