For a lucky few, death is merely an inconvenience. With the help of technology the mind can survive long after a body has been laid to rest. This afterlife, however, is far from paradise... Making A Living. Rhodes is a 'Husk'. It's an illegal, controversial and highly lucrative job - renting out control of his body and mind to the highest bidder. It's a sure way to gain a better life, but some clients go too far. Sometimes, he wakes up with scars. Making A Killing. Then the visions start - terrible sights that haunt his waking hours. They could be dreams, or they could be something far worse - they just might be memories...

Reviews for Husk

Raw, visceral, powerful ... may just make you question what it is to be human -- Nick Cutter Pacy and surprising, Husk is a showcase for a wild and frightening imagination -- Andrew Pyper Reading J. Kent Messum's Bait is like taking a high dive into black water. What you find in its murky depths is disturbing, pulse-pounding and utterly surprising. An exhilarating debut * Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me * The stakes could be no higher in this crisply written, fast-paced novel that examines the shifting line between right and wrong, good and evil. Bait will keep readers turning pages late into the night. * Lori Roy, author of Bent Road and Until She Comes Home * Jaws meets Lord of the Flies meets Drugstore Cowboy! A powerhouse debut. * Steve Ulfelder, author of Purgatory Chasm and The Whole Lie *
