Following a night of sex, drugs and witchcraft in the woods, Eve Coffin wakes up naked, covered in blood and unable to remember how she got there. One friend is missing, one is in a mental ward--and one knows that Eve is responsible.

Years later, Eve returns to Coffin Hill, only to discover the darkness that she unleashed ten years ago in the woods was never contained. It continues to seep through the town, cursing the soul of this sleepy Massachusetts hollow, spilling secrets and enacting its revenge. 

Dark, depressing, and creepy - just how I like comics. The storyline was very interesting and weird. But what i really loved was the art. The creepy things in the volume were beautifully drawn. I especially loved the reveal of Mel’s inner self. I can’t wait to read volume two.
