Evil just woke up.

Big deal. This is Halcyon, after all. It has happened before. But Cari Hembert never imagined it would happen in her own living room. Or that it would try to eat her mom for breakfast. Now Cari and the staff of Virgil Security and Maintenance must scramble to determine the nature of this new threat while searching for a way to save her mother from the demonic infection devouring her soul. What they discover will change Halcyon - and Cari's life - forever. And they aren't even supposed to work the day shift. Filled with humor, horror, and heartbreak, The Mourning Sun is the fifth novella set in the Dead Mall universe, where the phrase "buyer beware" takes on a whole new meaning.
