ABOUT
Growing up on a farm in the foothills, Sierra Maddox has spent her life resisting the call of her granny’s folk magic and dreaming of a future as a pre-med student in the city. But when her dad, a recovering addict, misses her graduation ceremony, she’s sure there’s something more sinister than a relapse to blame.
Tracking her dad’s last-known location to a methadone clinic, Sierra meets Blight, a nonbinary caseworker in the clinic’s harm reduction program. Sierra is looking for answers, but connecting with Blight only raises more questions about her dad’s whereabouts . . . and about her sexuality.
As Sierra and Blight explore their growing attraction and navigate the opioid-riddled underworld of the Blue Ridge Mountains, they discover a disease creeping through users’ veins like kudzu—and it looks a whole lot more like Granny’s magic than any ordinary sickness. Will Sierra embrace the dark inheritance of her family’s white trash witchcraft to save the ones she calls her own?
A twisted love letter to harm reduction, Southern queers, and the haunted beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
