Welcomed warily into a community of holdouts from a modern-day plague, the mysterious John Ryder continues to tell his tale based on a prophetic page torn from the Book of Destiny. His second story, beautifully illustrated by Scott Hampton, captures a moment in time just before the Black Death overtook Europe in the 1300s, as seen through the eyes of a young princess for whom marriage is literally a matter of life and death.

I'm the author of YA, graphic novels and novels for adults who still feel young, at least most of the time. Recent works include GILT, a graphic novel about time-traveling women of a certain age; Cadaver & Queen, a YA Feminist Frankenstein meets Grey's Anatomy tale, and Mystik U from DC Comics, which features Zatanna and other magical characters in their first year at college. I also co-host a Sandman podcast, The Endless, with Lani Diane Rich. My first novel, Till the Fat Lady Sings, is also about college and romance and eating disorders. (It was my thesis at Columbia University's MFA Program, where I felt like an outlier for liking comic books and romance as much as literature.) I was an editor at Vertigo, the mature/dark fantasy branch of DC Comics, before going freelance. (I've also written two hormonal werewolf books as Alisa Sheckley.) I live near the Vanderbilt Estate in Hyde Park, NY, with two dogs and a frightening number of books. aka Alisa Sheckley
