A novella of a year of increasing terror, from acclaimed author Benjamin Percy and superstar artist Francesco Francavilla. What if The Purge were supernatural? What if, instead of one night a year, the world went wild once a month? When the moon was full? What if the contagion was spreading among the population—and no one knew who was infected—only that the violence was growing more severe and widespread? You couldn't trust anyone—not your neighbors, your friends, or even your family. Manitou Street –in the cozy college town of Northfield, Minnesota –has always been known for its shady maples and flower-filled gardens and backyard BBQ parties and general sense of safety and comfort; but over the course of twelve months, its residents become deeply paranoid and divided. Houses transform into fortresses –with deep arsenals and barred windows and steel-sleeved doors and surveillance cameras –because every time the moon grows fat, the neighborhood has to hunker down and wait out a nighttime assault, uncertain if the enemy is without or within. “A new kind of lycanthropic tale … pairing [Percy’s] impactful prose with Francavilla's amazing illustrations.”—DAILY DEAD “Outstanding... Percy writes so beautifully, with simple, straightforward prose that says so much with so little. … A fun, fast-paced romp through the darkness of the night...making you squirm and wince with each click-click of nails on the road.”—Steve Stred
