The Nearly Departed

About The Nearly Departed

Step back in the world of the Eldritch Twins in this darker, more personal tale of remembrance and revenge with a hint of voodoo and a dash of existential dread. LOVECRAFT meets THE X-FILES in the sequel to the SWANSONG CONSPIRACY. The nights grow ever darker and longer for Lilly and Quincy Swansong. Uncovering the mysterious Swansong family secret and thwarting the apocalyptic plans of the wretched Haven organization has left the world in a state of confusion. Regular people have stopped responding to the horrors around them. The Global Defense Force has disbanded. Shadowy figures of Haven looming in the distance, ever-present. And yet no one remembers. The twins try to learn what they can, but mostly, they try to survive, ever on the run from revenge-seeking Haven agents. When a mysterious affliction possibly linked to Haven interventions rears its ugly head, it leads the twins to new friends and a terrifying new foe. It also, unfortunately, leads to their deaths. But death is only a minor setback for those who know their way around. Quincy and Lilly traverse the afterlife, determined to find a way home, but it doesn't take long for them to realize they can't simply escape the Realm of the Nearly Departed--a dark and foreboding world of neon lights. Not without a few dodgy deals and a Corgi leading the way.

Description of The Nearly Departed

Step back in the world of the Eldritch Twins in this darker, more personal tale of remembrance and revenge with a hint of voodoo and a dash of existential dread. LOVECRAFT meets THE X-FILES in the sequel to the SWANSONG CONSPIRACY.

The nights grow ever darker and longer for Lilly and Quincy Swansong.
Uncovering the mysterious Swansong family secret and thwarting the apocalyptic plans of the wretched Haven organization has left the world in a state of confusion. Regular people have stopped responding to the horrors around them. The Global Defense Force has disbanded. Shadowy figures of Haven looming in the distance, ever-present.
And yet no one remembers.

The twins try to learn what they can, but mostly, they try to survive, ever on the run from revenge-seeking Haven agents. When a mysterious affliction possibly linked to Haven interventions rears its ugly head, it leads the twins to new friends and a terrifying new foe. It also, unfortunately, leads to their deaths.

But death is only a minor setback for those who know their way around. Quincy and Lilly traverse the afterlife, determined to find a way home, but it doesn't take long for them to realize they can't simply escape the Realm of the Nearly Departed--a dark and foreboding world of neon lights.
