Logline:
He’s made his nice and naughty lists and checked them twice, but Gil the Toymaker has a third list in hand - a list of souls to be harvested for Death, who’s on his yearly vacation.
Synopsis:
Death comes for us all. But for Gil the Toymaker, the visit is a real tragedy. Every year, the holiday gift giver is forced to do the work of Death, carrying a list of ready-to-harvest souls alongside his naughty list and nice list. As the Toymaker reflects on the relationship he's had with Death for several millennia, an associate reveals a scheme that may just put an end to Death's contract (and, perhaps, Death himself).

Reviews & Testimonials
Death Comes for the Toymaker is a delight. And, yes, it's complex and challenging and exciting and dark, and those qualities are all good reasons to read this excellent book from writer Dakota Brown and artist Ryan Cody. But if you want to know why you should read it, it's as simple as that. It's a delight. Treat yourself. -- Van Jensen
