New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman and Eisner Award-winning comics legend P.

She and her guardian have no language, no memory, nothing-except each other.

A biracial boy in the Midwest uses a supernatural gift from his grandfather to push back against two older boys who are terrorizing him.

THE CLAY PEOPLE is a rock band hailing from Albany, New York. The band’s self-titled debut album was released on Mercury/Slipdisc records; their furiously propulsive lead single “Awake” climbed the radio charts and launched the band into an international touring act with the likes of Disturbed, Staind, Clutch, Rob Zombie, Static-X, Stabbing Westward, and Filter. “Colossus” is from THE CLAY PEOPLE’s latest album, Demon Hero.
