SUBS OPEN:Old castle walls and moaning ghosts don’t scare us anymore. We want the dread of the abandoned desert highway. Old gods losing it all at gas station slot machines. That old woman standing in the window beneath the flickering lights of an all-night diner. How long has she been watching you?

Something evil is coming. Barreling down a lonely highway at a breakneck pace. Issue 3 announcement and reading window coming soon
