In Lost Gods, Brom, the artist and author of The Child Thief and Krampus, brings readers into a dark, fantastical, masterful mix of brilliant illustrations and dazzling prose.

Read by award-winning narrator, R.C. Bray!

A young man descends into Purgatory to save his wife and unborn child in this gorgeous, illustrated tale of wonder and terror from the mind of master storyteller and acclaimed artist Brom.

Fresh out of jail and eager to start a new life, Chet Moran and his pregnant wife, Trish, leave town to begin again. But an ancient evil is looming, and what seems like a safe haven may not be all it appears . . .

Snared and murdered by a vile, arcane horror, Chet quickly learns that pain and death are not unique to the living. Now the lives and very souls of his wife and unborn child are at stake.To save them, he must journey into the bowels of purgatory in search of a sacred key promised to restore the natural order of life and death. Alone, confused, and damned, Chet steels himself against the unfathomable terrors awaiting him as he descends into death’s stygian blackness.

With Lost Gods, Brom’s gritty and visceral prose takes us on a haunting, harrowing journey into the depths of the underworld. Thrust into a realm of madness and chaos, where ancient gods and demons battle over the dead, and where cabals of souls conspire to overthrow their masters, Chet plays a dangerous game, risking eternal damnation to save his family.

I can't quite decide how I feel about this book. It's a sort of a backwoods-Americana-voodoo version of ancient mythological stories from Greece and Rome. It's laden with roadblocks for the persistent hero, moments of despair, and an overriding dim light of hope that he can somehow save his young family from the horrors of his lineage. If I picked the book up for a read, I don't know that I would have finished it, but the narration breathes life into a colorless, hopeless underworld. Worth a listen if you're into Greek mythology, demons, and finding where the line blurs between good and evil.

Reminiscent of Orpheus & Eurydice

This book was chosen for our book club. Something I would never, ever chose to read but I'm happy I did. It was unique, well put together, well written, dialogue was on point. This is a unique book with demons, gods, deaths, and love. There are quite a few surprising turns. One surprise had my mouth dropping to the ground and hoping for a different outcome - you get to that part fairly early on in the book. There are a few moments were I drifted off because there might have been a few too much unnecessary detail needed for my taste but it didn't last too long where you wanted to turn the book off. All I can say is R.C. Bray has one heck of an imagination.This book takes you to places and all you do is imagine what he is going through and how he's going through it. I would love to see this as a movie just due to the detail and the set this movie would produce.
Worth. Listening. To. You have to get through the first few chapters for it to get into the knitty gritty.

This book starts a little slow and I wasn't sure about the narrator but gave him a chance... once you get used to his voice as Chet he really does a good job with the other characters. The book was very entertaining and I will definitely listen again.

Great book

I LOVED this book from beginning to end. It stayed interesting. I never wanted to turn it off. It was creepy at parts. R.C. Bray has an awesome voice, and he did every voice uniquely (and there were a LOT of characters).

I would call this a Gothic story. It emerges the reader into a deeply-designed supernatural afterlife that borrows from and blends history's cultures. The forgotten Gods were very interesting. You are guided through this realm in pieces without being forced to have to try and keep up with too much at once. This has the effect of allowing you to experience the real point of the book - an exploration of humanity. How do we deal with death, especially when it looks a little like living. How do we connect to one another? What do we do when we see the weakest among us - literally deceased infants in purgatory because of when they died - when we have our own problems to deal with, too? (BTW, the babies made me sad; it was very interesting.)
