From the writer of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode and the artists of House of Slaughter and Morning Star—folk magic and cold-blooded revenge collide in rural Appalachia! Eisner and Harvey Award–nominated writer Justin Jordan (
The Strange Talent of Luther Strode,
Dead Body Road) and #1 bestselling artist Chris Shehan (
House of Slaughter), and Ringo Award nominated-artist Maan House (
Morning Star) throw a brass-knuckled gut punch of revenge-horror torn from the forgotten corners of West Virginia, where magic and murder go hand in hand . . .
Harley Creed is a bad man. He used to be worse.
A violent ex-con with a string of brutal crimes in his past, he only wanted one thing when he finally walked free from prison: to leave Briar Falls, WV, behind and disappear forever. But Harley’s hometown has a strange way of swallowing people whole—call it a consequence of the low-level folk magic that has permeated its darker corners for generations. And now that Harley has returned, pent-up vengeance for his past crimes is about to come roaring back. Somebody has put a hex on him—and Harley has seven days before he dies in twisted, screaming agony.
To reverse it, Harley must find and kill his unseen enemy before their curse can reap its terrible end. But in Briar Falls, there's no shortage of suspects—and Harley is coming for them all. If can't have peace, at least he can have revenge.
