And North sees something no one else sees. He sees the souls of the dead.It starts with three crosses on the side of the road, a memorial to a tragic accident long ago. Only North sees the dead family standing next to the crosses. In the twists and turns that follow, North is joined by Arielle Shay and Vance Klammer. Shay is a bartender and blue-collar musician. She buried herself in music as chaos unfolded around her while growing up. Klammer is a big bear of a man. He lumbers through life as the town's "top cop," a title he assumes is ironic. Together, the three dodge souls and corpses as they try to warn the citizens of Madison about the undead. But the undead have a different plan. The town will have the shroud pulled off its dark secrets, some that were hidden in plain sight, others that were locked away long ago.Madison is not the final destination for the souls. Something much larger looms for them and for everyone. The Road of Souls is a fast-paced novella with themes that spark the thriller and horror genres: madness, trust, evil, redemption, revenge, the unknown, and the afterlife. More that than, it's a work of friendship, courage, and discovery.
