In "The Choker," a woman's desperate bid to save her life sets her on a perilous quest to break a curse tied to a mysterious beast. As she struggles to earn the beast’s kiss—only to find the transformation comes at a terrible cost—the line between monster and man blurs in ways she never expected. Hy Fleishman’s striking artwork brings this haunting tale of fate and sacrifice to life, both in the story and on the cover.
