Harrow County #2

Two pale young women share a single oil lamp between them, their composed expressions set against a background of leering skulls and a hulking dark creature whose glowing eyes watch from the shadows — Tyler Crook's cover art for this 2016 Dark Horse collection is genuinely unsettling in the best possible way. Harrow County: Twice Told gathers stories steeped in Southern Gothic atmosphere, and Crook's painterly work makes every inch of that world feel both beautiful and deeply wrong. If folk horror with gorgeous, handcrafted visuals is your thing, this one earns its place on the shelf.
