Episode description
Can a horror comic be beautiful? In the hands of Portland comic book artist Tyler Crook and author Cullen Bunn it can.
The two have created a Gothic fairy tale called that follows a girl, as she deals with her connection to the town witch, Hester Beck, and to the undead that reside in the woods outside her small Southern town. Bunn's Faulkner-esque prose weaves together with Crook's watercolors to bring out a dark, haunting vision of the American South.
The graphic novel collecting the first year of "Harrow County," "Countless Haints," received a nomination for the Bram Stoker Award, and the series is being developed for television.
State of Wonder's April Baer spoke with Crook and Bunn.
