WRENCHED BACK FROM THE ABYSS, A BLOODSTAINED HISTORY HAS COME ROARING BACK TO HAUNT THE LIVING! Inspired by the all-too-real events of Maryland’s most notorious mental asylum, master storyteller Rodney Barnes (Batman: Full Moon) and ethereal artist Elia Bonetti (Darth Vader) unite to tell the heart-pounding tale of a murder investigation where the vengeful ghosts of the 20th century are both suspect and witness . . . The spirits are stirring in the long-abandoned mental institution known as Crownsville. The long-buried dark secrets of its past are forcing their way to the surface. What happened at this troubled place so many years ago? These tortured souls are determined to be paid their due. Anyone now coming into contact with the facility is being deeply affected—and even killed . . . penance for sins of the past.  How can crimes so heinous be repaid? With the spectre of the past looming large, a lone police detective and his old friend—a local journalist—are determined to uncover the secrets of Crownsville and try to put the past to rest once and for all!
