The supernatural has returned. Ghosts cannot be killed, only sealed.
Everyone is desperately trying to control ghosts, racing to keep from becoming one with their ghostly nature.
Only I know there’s something more terrifying than ghosts: ghosts corrupted by Cthulhu.
The ghostly shadow in the corridor that once killed anyone who looked back has suddenly sprouted countless eyes;
The midnight bus, once known for its predictable route, has begun driving into the unknowable depths of space;
The evil spirits that could once be sealed with pure copper now melt it on contact, and even the ghosts themselves are trembling.
My name is Lu Chen, the world’s first Shadow Corroder.
I control a book ghost that eats words, but lately it has been acting strange too...
It whispers to the moon in the dead of night, draws twisted tentacles on its pages, and tells me:
“Run. The Old God is watching you.”
Every time I use my ability, I come one step closer to becoming a ghost;
Every time I glimpse the truth, a little more of my sanity melts away.
In thirty days, the first Old God will awaken beneath the earth.
And I am humanity’s only hope, as well as the sacrifice the Old God wants most.
