For Harrow County #9 Cullen Bunn writes deep south sorcery like no-one else. If you thought keeping Peter Pan’s shadow in a drawer was kind of creepy, it’s got nothing on Harrow County! This is no-one’s ideal holiday destination and you don’t know what creepy is until you’ve seen the Skinless Boy retrieve his epidermis from a sleeping girl’s bedroom.

And that’s right after, : Harrow County #9, we meet a sparrow chomping psychopomp who promises to tell the Skinless Boy the secrets of his forgotten past, starting with his own name. As trips down memory lane go, this is one of the weirdest and most gruesome jaunts you are ever likely to take.

Harrow County #9 is the Dukes of Hazzard through a very dark glass, chock full of witches, talking skin suits, killer shrubbery, bad dreams and itinerant dark mages. Harrow County #9 oozes atmosphere and bodily fluids in equal measure and, likely as not, after reading this issue of Harrow County you may never want to close your eyes again.
