Summary

"For readers eager to dive right into Jeff LeMire's strange sci-fi story, Sweet Tooth the compendium is now available! An inexplicable plague has women giving birth to human-animal hybrid children all over the world. The deer-child Gus is left to fend for himself after his father dies, leaving him with more questions than answers. A cross between Bambi and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Sweet Tooth follows the innocent journey of a young hybrid boy suddenly thrust out into a world no one can explain."--, Provided by publisherSeven years ago, the Affliction raged through the world like a forest fire, killing billions. The only children born since the plague are a new breed of human-animal hybrids. Gus is one of these children, a boy with a sweet soul, a sweeter tooth--and the features of a deer. But kids like Gus have a price on their heads. When vicious hunters descend on Gus's isolated forest home, a mysterious and violent man called Jepperd rescues him. The hulking drifter promises to lead Gus to the Preserve, a fabled safe haven for hybrid children. As the two cross this dangerous new American frontier, will Jepperd corrupt the boy he's nicknamed "Sweet Tooth" or will Gus's heart change Jepperd? -- back cover
