“A scabrous, booze- and vengeance-fueled ride on the wild side… Fans of Southern gothic will rejoice.”
Description
From the mind of writer Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, Lost Highway), adapted by That Texas Blood's Chris Condon and a rotating cast of visionary artists—including Brian Level (Poison Ivy), Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian), Artyom Topilin (I Hate This Place) and Marco Finnegan (The Keeper)—come four interconnected stories of convicts, lost souls, and human monsters journeying through a labyrinth of perversion, religious dogma, and murder in the Deep South. A pair of murderous lovers in Florida carrying out a bloody agenda. A perverse political and religious power struggle between a brother and a sister. An easygoing drifter who suddenly finds himself a fugitive on the run. And a bright-eyed young girl discovering her place in the cold dark world. At the end of the twentieth century, chaos and horror were the American dream. Collecting Night People #1–4.
Reviews
"Gifford’s madcap, macabre stories may feature ritualistic murder, kidnappings, violent automobile collisions, and other assorted calamities, but Condon and his collaborators prove less interested in eliciting prurient thrills than in exploring doomed love, the power of belief, and moral decay."
“Intriguing and violent.”
“A pulpy, scuzzy, addictive read that skillfully contains Barry Gifford's essence.”
