M. Todd Gallowglas never fails to entertain. Dead Weight: The Tombs is the first entry in a new novella series. He's already got me on the hook for two other series (Tears of Rage and Halloween Jack) and once again, I'm ready and waiting for more. Dead Weight: The Tombs is stark, captivating and uncompromising; a masterwork of apocalyptic urban fantasy. It's not exactly grimdark, but there is nothing light and fluffy about this story. It is a tale of heroism from the least-likely places in the aftermath of a devastating war, and a reminder that the greatest crime we can commit is to give up on ourselves and on hope.Don't miss this one.
