Why read it?
1 author picked Ghosts of East Baltimore as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The story takes place within a 12-hour time frame, in which our protagonist—fresh out of prison—must navigate cosmic horrors and old habits on his way to the halfway house.
The whole time, we as the reader are given in-depth historical and cultural insight into the city of Baltimore. The classic “first day out” narrative is given an anime-flavored spin with the inclusion of mech battles, mysterious gimp-suited beings, and eldritch gods.
From Kelby's list on that feel like watching anime.
