Jaw-dropping artwork illuminates a mind-bending work of psychological horror about creative souls struggling against oppression and depression. This class is a nightmare.

And once they realize the truth, are they strong enough together to escape? In his astonishing debut, Brazilian graphic novelist Sam Fonseca presents a mind-bending work of psychological horror about creativity, self-doubt, and the battles we all face to endure a world where shadows only grow stronger.

By: Justin Jordan (Author), Chris Shehan (Cover Art-Artist), Allesandro Santoro (Colorist), Micah Myers (Letterer)

Eisner and Harvey Award–nominated writer Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, Dead Body Road) and #1 best-selling artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter) throw a brass-knuckled gut punch of revenge-horror torn from the forgotten corners of Appalachia, 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.

THE FOUNDLING

When ex-con Michael Blunt takes in a mute homeless girl, he believes he has found a path to redemption. But what he has really found – and made himself the unwitting guardian of – is the new Hollow Girl – soulless vessel of the vengeful dead.

BLUNT

A DREAM OF LIFE

In two flashback stories, featuring half-remembered cases from Hollow Girls old and new, reality and dream converge to form a shared nightmare and, with luck, an escape from death itself.

Confused? Imagine how Hannah feels. It’s not easy being betrayed by someone you love and losing your soul in the process.
