📝 Description: Midnight's Children: The Jag Chronicles

Curtis Jag returns from Hell in this contemporary fantasy series by Muyoung Kim. A former Corporate Security specialist and religious cynic, he is resurrected to spread a mysterious illness called Za Shikkan.

Kim, who also provides full-page illustrations, grounds the story in supernatural conflict rather than traditional horror tropes.
