Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new story of dark fantasy and wonder, with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez.

"[A] strong start for the series....Hill possesses the commendable knack for creating believably recognizable antagonists without shying from the grandiose hideousness of their actions....He's aided in this by artist Gabriel Rodriguez, who has a firm grasp on grandly gory splatter and quiet angst..." BlogCritics Magazine

"There has been a rash of novelists jumping on the comic bandwagon in the past few years...with dubious success. Prose and comics are such different media that the strengths a writer possesses in one form don't necessarily translate to the other. Hill, however, is clearly a comics fan who understands the medium and utilizes its visual power to the fullest potential." Chris A. Bolton, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
