Summary

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.“Simon Davis'' artwork really is some of the best he''s ever done.
