A 2023 National Cartoonists Society Reuben Awards Comics Finalist "The kind of nightmare horror fans won't want to wake up from." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Genuinely disturbing...if you feel brave, check it out." --The Toronto Star "An absolute delight. Probably the most fun I've had while flinching squeamishly on the edge of my seat..." --BOING BOING Welcome to Elwich--an oasis of small-town perfection, where the schools overflow with cheery-eyed children, lovingly adorned homes line the historic boulevards . . . and only the crows can see the deep, festering rot that lurks beneath the pristine surface.
Murder.
Demonology.
Possession.
Obsession.
