Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Grim is a functionary. An evaluator. For longer than the universe has had a name, he has stood at the edge of human lives, opened his scroll, turned his wheel, and sent the dead on their way. He does not question the machinery. He does not ask where they go. He has been doing this since before the first human word for death existed, and the work has always been sufficient.Then he starts watching where the sendings go.What he finds does not match what he was told. The souls are not reaching their destinations. Something vast and indifferent, something that has existed since before the universe itself, is consuming them. The machinery Grim has operated across geological time is not a system of judgment and redemption. It is a harvest. And the harvester does not know the souls exist. It does not know anything exists. It simply draws, and consumes, and grows stronger.Told through thirty-eight chapters spanning forty thousand years of human history, from a Neanderthal hunter dying on a frozen lake to the final human soul assessed at the edge of the universe, Grim is a novel about consciousness, complicity, and the weight of a job that never ends. Each chapter follows a different soul through death, through the long awareness of physical decay, and through the assessment that determines what comes next. A Plague Cart driver in 1348. A conquistador who spent forty years staring at a child's face. A literature teacher in Auschwitz. A Siberian woman held in permafrost for three centuries. A slave trader whose scroll will not stop writing. Churchill. Stalin. An ordinary farmer who loved the smell of rain.Through all of it, Grim watches. And follows. And begins, for the first time in the existence of the machinery, to push back against it.The question every soul asks is what happens next. Grim has been answering that question since before language had a word for next. Now he needs to know the answer himself.What is on the other side of the door?The answer is worse than nothing. And the work continues anyway. For eons, he has guided the dead. But when Grim discovers the souls he processes are not reaching their destination-but are instead being consumed by a mindless cosmic horror-he must question the very machinery of existence. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781972810491
