After all, what does it profit him to take the world seriously, when the world repaid the courtesy so cruelly? No. Better to glide through his existence now: job, sleepless nights, whatever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut now a mysterious, half-mad, figure crosses Greg’s path. The pair become inextricably bound, sending Greg on a nocturnal comic quest to recover something that the madman has taken from him, something that truly does still matter, something worth risking everything for - even if it means Greg must expose himself to the greatest threats of all: the phantoms of the past, and the demons of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Canfield writes about monsters, superheroes, couples, bank robbers, babies, astronauts, paranoids, background artists, hobbyists, and other people.
