Harrow County Volume 1: Countless Haints

Emmy Crawford is about to turn eighteen in Harrow County when she learns that the woods near her home are full of ghosts and monsters. She also learns that she is bound to them, and to the land itself, in ways she never suspected.

Some years ago, a witch named Hester Beck was hanged and then burned by the county, and her last words were a vow to come back. Emmy has begun having strange dreams, and the people around her start to ask whether the girl is Hester returned.

Emmy does not set out to hunt the haints. She tries to find a way to live beside them, even as suspicion gathers around her.

The book is southern gothic horror set in the 1930s, written by Cullen Bunn and painted in watercolor by Tyler Crook. It collects the first four issues of the series. The pace is slow and the mood atmospheric, closer to a fairy tale than a chase. What Emmy has inherited, and what she will do with it, drives the story.
