Khelkid - Paperback

by Xavier McClean (Author), Ana Beatriz Moreria Lima (Illustrator)

On the run from certain death, Rose is panicked as she sees this is the end. She prays for a way out and her wish is granted. Out of the aether, a hand wearing an immaculate white glove beckons her from a blue vortex to join them. With nowhere else to go, she took the plunge and emerged to find herself from her native South Carolina to the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. Khelkid follows the adventures of 20-year-old Rose, a young black woman who has a stark career change from housekeeper to monster hunter. Far from just classic cryptids, encounter a whole menagerie of unsettling foes guaranteed to put you on edge. In the height of the Jazz Age, monsters aren't the only things she has to worry about. Rose soon finds herself embedded in the crossroads between two mob factions and their trail of violence. Combining historical fiction and horror, Khelkid blends the harsh realities of the past and the ones conjured from the depths of Hell itself.
