Harrower

There’s nothing to fear in the quaint town of Barlowe, New York–except, that is, for the Harrower. The children wish this boogeyman was just an urban legend, but this purveyor of puritanical vengeance is very real, and there's no escape. The Harrower seems unkillable, and spans generations, always returning… Jessa Brink is a teenage girl obsessed with this menacing figure. Will she be able to escape the pull of her morbid fixation? What gruesome secrets will she uncover in the process? Especially as The Harrower begins to stalk her and her friends… This deconstruction of the slasher genre from writer Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode) and artist Brahm Revel (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) is the fresh and terrifyingly grounded take on the slasher genre horror fans have been dying for! Collects Harrower #1-4.
