“One of 2015’s best horror comics.”—io9

Emmy has learned that she is not as alone in the world as she thought. Other beings, each possessing dark and terrifying powers, have arrived in Harrow, and they claim to be her true family. They promise to reveal the mysteries of her origin and the truth about the evil witch Hester Beck, but if she accepts their claims, she may condemn everyone she’s ever known.

* Featuring a special backup story exclusive to the single issues by Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt!

In development for television on SyFy!

Emmy finds out that she has "family" of sorts. Beings with powers, of which, the witch Hester had been one. One of these beings, Odessa, visits her, telling her about the others and what Hester has done. That Hester broke laws, killing her teacher, Amaryllis, and that they banished her, unable themselves to kill her due to the laws that they should not kill one another. Most of all, they plan to teach Emmy about their ways, get her to accept their guidance. It’s what she must do that upsets Emmy.

In “Tales of Harrow County" they talk about how Kammi made many things, some being men. And how without her, these men made plans, to think for themselves. In doing so, there were dire consequences and because of that, those left wanted revenge on the one who began the whole mess.

Harrow County just keeps on getting better and spookier. I am never disappointed with this comic.

I give Harrow County #15 five sheep.
