Description
In a world where sunlight is scarce and shadows linger, "Bitter Grounds" immerses readers in the vibrant, yet eerie streets of New Orleans. The scent of rich coffee wafts through the air, beckoning both the living and the undead to gather in this ethereal city. As the sun sets, the chaos of daily life intertwines with the supernatural, revealing a side of the city that thrives on mystery and the macabre.
The story unfolds as a tight-knit group of baristas discovers their coffees possess a unique power, awakening the dormant past of the city. While serving their loyal customers, they inadvertently tap into the restless spirits that wander the streets, forcing them to confront lost histories and untold secrets. As the zombies stir, haunted by memories and desires, the baristas must navigate the complexities of a world where every cup holds a deeper meaning.
Every turn of the page brings forth an exploration of humanity, connection, and the blurry lines between life and death. With evocative prose and illustrative storytelling, this collaboration entwines the flavors of coffee culture with themes of redemption and nostalgia, inviting readers on a unique journey through the heart of a city that refuses to let go.
