The life of Clyde Williams had certainly taken a detour these last months. Turning from aspiring comic book artist to low-ranked Level 1 necromancer. Now he’s an agent of the paranormal intelligence department Hourglass and posted to New York’s madhouse facility along with the ghost of his best friend and their seasoned team. And they have their work cut out for them. Local Hourglass assets are being targeted by a lethal, horrifically enhanced killer called The Hangman, the first weapon in a new campaign of terror being waged against Hourglass. But he won’t be the last. The Cairnwood Society is producing more of these monstrous madman and it’s up to Clyde and his team to find out their dark methods and shut them down before Cairnwood can amass an army of nightmare killers to launch against Hourglass and the world.
