📝 Description: Bad Humans

David Musser’s Bad Humans follows Rodney, a man shaped by abuse from his alcoholic father, and his connection to Liz, who showed him kindness. They utilize a magic artifact that reveals the hidden evil in others. Their journey brings them into contact with an ambulance driver who stages accidents to play the hero, and a nursing home orderly who preys on vulnerable residents. These human failings collide with supernatural threats, including a mysterious Man in White who fights against shadows and demons. The narrative asks if Rodney and Liz can halt the evil within one soul before greater darkness arrives. This edition features large print formatting for easier reading. The story draws on gothic traditions of hidden corruption and supernatural intervention. It suits readers interested in moral decay and magical realism. Those seeking fast-paced action without character depth may find it slow. Musser examines how trauma influences perception and behavior. The artifact acts as a lens for truth, stripping away social masks to expose inner darkness. This approach creates tension between the visible world and the spiritual realm. The Man in White operates outside normal human constraints, adding an element of divine or demonic mystery. The intersection of personal history and supernatural duty drives the plot forward. Readers will follow the characters as they confront both internal demons and external threats in a world where evil is tangible.
