The Ghosts of Lower Eden (As yet Unpublished)
Angel Valentine knows the streets of Portland like the back of her hand, finding personal solace in helping those in need, having little tolerance for those who squander life away. Angel has a plan to get her away from the monster that is her father. She is proud that she has done it all on her own, surviving her father, surviving school, surviving the streets. Defiant of those who would stand in her way. But tonight, Angel finds herself alone and frightened in the Garden of Eden, lost in the shroud of fog that has descended over the rolling hills and endless tombstones, witness to an un-natural doorway from this world into the next.
Daniel Logan is a struggling comic book artist who is stuck on the next, great, installation of Logan comics. He wonders if his first wildly popular success will be his last as he desperately tries to keep his publisher at bay. But tonight, a late night ride on Portland's lightrail takes him beneath the Garden of Eden, leading him to the ghosts of three young children, and his imagination sparks back to life.
Sean Grolin and Casey Durland have been best friends since the age of ten, leading each other on one dangerous adventure after another, struggling through adversity like brothers. Tonight, they enter the of the Garden of Eden, searching for things that go bump in the night, and accidentally stumble into their greatest adventure of all.
Tonight, the city of Portland, Oregon, reveals her darkest secret. Tonight, four people are forced together and an unlikely friendship is forged among the graves and deep underneath. The ghosts of days long past are making a long-distance appearance into the world of the living, starting in the Garden of Eden, sweeping down into the lightrail tunnel and across the city streets, making the lives of Portlanders everywhere a living nightmare of the dead.
