THE FAMILIAR STRANGER by Brett McBean, intro by Steve Gerlach, art by Caniglia. Escanaba, MI; Necessary Evil Press; 2007. 1st edition chapbook. Description Seth is a worker angel - one of many whose job it is to clean old souls, those soiled and broken and in need of cleaning in order to be recycled. But when Seth starts to doubt the veracity of his work, starts to wonder if old souls can truly be cleansed of their past evils, he decides to travel down to Earth and see what has become of one of the old souls. Cassius 'Corey' Willis is living a colourless existence; stuck in a rut, he dreams of living a different life, of being somebody else. But when a mysterious stranger offers him the answer to his dreams, Cassius will learn the truth of his past. A past so stained with violence and bloodlust it refuses to be wiped clean . . . and a secret so horrific that it may shatter his very soul. Issued in a SIGNED/LIMITED chapbook edition of 275 copies.
