About this title

Synopsis

Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry’s Busy, Busy Town in this twisted debut graphic novel!

Don’t. Murder. The locals.

For Samantha Strong, this isn’t just advice, it’s survival. She’s Woodbrook’s most reliable shop owner, its warmest smile, and beneath all that fur…its most efficient serial killer. The big city beyond the evergreens has more than enough prey; Sam just wants her tranquil life, her tidy storefront, and the comforting lull of cedar branches and apple-pie breezes.

But tranquility shatters when a fellow Woodbrook resident turns up savaged by an unknown hand. Suddenly the gossip swirls, panic rises, and Sheriff Patterson is on the prowl, too close for comfort.

Sam knows one thing: if someone else is killing in her woods, they’re not just a threat to her routine. They’re a threat to everything she’s built. And she’ll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth before Woodbrook tears itself apart.

From writer-artist Patrick Horvath comes a darkly delightful thriller, already crowned the 2025 Harvey Book of the Year.
