There Was a Crooked Man
Welcome to the world of master fabulist Edward Morris, where History has been pulled down a Hieronymous Bosch rabbit-hole and everything makes far too much sense.
In this first volume of Morris's alternate history tour de force, on an East Coast two centuries after Armageddon, a rogue soldier throws himself back in Time to wreak havoc upon History and feed on the blood in the streets. He lands in the New World with the first white settlers. The Irrakwa try to stop him. And from two centuries ahead, the Law tries to follow him back...
Dare to step inside. History is only one of the things you will never see in quite the same way again.
