14

&;A wholly original story that weaves together mystery and the apocalypse like a finely tuned band." &;Evan Roy, Bricks of the Dead

Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches.

There are some odd things about Nate&;s new apartment.

Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn&;t perfect, it&;s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don&;t nag at him too much.

At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela&;s apartment. And Tim&;s. And Veek&;s.

Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends.

Or the end of everything&;

"Picture Lost in an apartment building with a cast of ordinary people, some comedy, plenty of charm, and the stakes being the end of the world, and you'd come close to capturing what makes 14 tick." &;Craig DeLouie, author of The Infection and The Killing Floor
