Volume 1 - 1st printing. Written by LAINI TAYLOR-DI BARTOLO. Art and cover by JIM DI BARTOLO. Paris, 1800. Theophile has been moldering in an asylum for five years with no clear memory of how he came to be there. He wavers in and out of madness until the day that unseen forces compel him to escape and make his way back home to the haunted Breton coast. As he follows the tatters of memory back to the ungodly events of his childhood, striving to wring sense out of madness, he¹s pursued in turn by furious crows, drowned witches, a loved one long believed dead, a secret cabal of priests, and a damaged orphan. Each carry pieces of the secret that, once fit together, emerge into two distinct but intertwining tales of supernatural vengeance. As the ravages of Theophiles¹ buried past catch up with him at last, a battle for power begins, and the stakes are no less than the fate of the lost souls in hell. Softcover, 80 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.
