In the dank alleyways and shadowy corners of Gotham City rest vicious criminal elements that not even Batman has the resources to combat. When the need arises, Simon Dark, a modern-day Frankenstein boogeyman hero, pushes back the ghouls that go bump in the night. Finally facing down the serial killing cult that's had it's death grip firmly around the neck of the city, Simon Dark learns more macabre secrets about his own origins in this second volume from acclaimed horror writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, BATMAN: GOTHAM COUNTY LINE) and award-winning illustrator Scott Hampton (BATMAN: NIGHT CRIES)

STEVE NILES is one of the writers responsible for bringing horror comics back to prominence, and was recently named by Fangoria magazine as one of it's "13 rising talents who promise to keep us terrified for the next 25 years." Niles is currently working for the four top American comic publishers - Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse. He got his start in the industry when he formed his own publishing company called Arcane Comix, where he published, edited and adapted several comics and anthologies for Eclipse Comics. His adaptations include works by Clive Barker, Richard Matheson and Harlan Ellison. Steve resides in Los Angeles in his bachelor pad with one cat. While there's no crawlspace, there is a questionable closet in one corner and no one is quite sure what is hidden in there...but we have an idea. —from the author's website
