About the series
In this haunting four-issue miniseries from DC, writer Caitlín R. Kiernan crafts a lyrical, dark fantasy about a young woman who discovers her connection to an ancient, death-like force. With moody, atmospheric art by Dean Ormston and Sean Phillips, the story unfolds as a psychological and supernatural exploration of mortality and identity. Published in the late 1990s, it remains a cult gem for its poetic, unsettling tone and its place in Kiernan's early comics work.
