The Inexplicables

Adventures await Rector Wreck`em Sherman. About to turn eighteen, he`s facing ejection from the orphanage that passed for home. He should also choose a trade, but work is scarce in steam-powered Seattle. And Rector has more unconventional plans. He`s started dealing in sap, a yellow narcotic produced by rebels and outlaws within the city`s toxic walled enclave. What`s worse, he`s been sampling his wares. Other problems include being haunted by an old friend with a grudge. The pressure builds until he sneaks behind the wall himself, seeking both (un)gainful employment and excitement. As rumoured, he finds a terrifying host of the hungry undead, and then there`s the monster. Rector`s certain that his attacker wasn`t human, or undead. But he`s going to need more proof than his own addled word to expose it. His new mission becomes a compulsion when others witness the creature`s destructiveness, and give its kind a name.
