The Creeping Below

Val, an American heavy metal fanatic, is on her dream vacation: attending the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo. There she meets a charismatic young band who take her to a remote forest to show her the local haunt. Enchanted by their charm and oblivious to danger, Val is drugged, beaten, and left for dead. But her story is far from over. She wakes at dawn, haunted by a vision of rain falling from a wolf's jowls. Stumbling back to Oslo, she discovers the festival has already ended—thirteen years have passed. The world has moved on and the men who brutalized her are long gone, but moss and roots begin to sprout from her skin. Everything has changed except her desire for revenge. In a boundary-pushing blend of Norse myth and eco-horror, Brian Azzarello and Vanesa Del Rey deliver a bloodsoaked feminist revenge saga. Collects The Creeping Below #1-5.
