Midsommar meets The Wicker Man in this break-out
original folk-horror series from the pages of 2000 AD!
England, 2019. The secluded rural village of
Harrowvale holds a dark past — that years earlier, on a farm bordering the vast
tracts of woodland, it hosted a cult that was seeking to escape civilisation
and find purity in the old ways, namely worshipping an ancient deity called
THISTLEBONE.
Led by the charismatic Jasper Hillman, their pagan
beliefs grew ever more radical to the point where they held the young Avril
Eason captive with the intention of sacrificing her. But Avril escaped.
Presented in a large format hardcover edition
showcasing the lush fully-painted colour artwork by world-renowned painter
Simon Davis (Sláine), this first volume in an all-new series is a great jumping
on point.

he’s ever done. Magnificent.” - comicon.com “hits all the right buttons...
More please.” - All-Comic
“Feels like visiting a novel by Stephen King. The
eerie atmosphere, the supernatural undertones but, perhaps most importantly,
the grounded approach to storytelling,” - Multiversity Comics
