Description
An ex-con searches for her missing father in a cultish oasis town called Promise in this folk horror tale set against the backdrop of the American Southwest.
Newly released from prison, Kristine Woods discovers that her father has disappeared into a mysterious town hidden in the New Mexico desert. When she arrives at the town of Promise, she doesn't find an average Southwestern town but an oasis of blossoms and lush greenery in the desert... and a sheriff who wants her gone by sunset!
Now, it's up to Kristine to find her father and rescue him from the unnatural threat of this bizarre town and its inhabitants, even as something even more ominous and powerful lurks beneath the surface. What is she willing to give to protect not only her father but the community she's found?
Eisner Award-nominated writer Ray Fawkes (One Soul, Gotham by Midnight) and visionary artist Rimanti Nurdarina invite you to explore the town of Promise and the secrets it holds in this atmospheric folk horror tale of dread and redemption set against the splendour of the American Southwest.
