Unveiling Be Not Afraid: A New Horror Vision
Visionary horror scribe Jude Ellison S. Doyle returns to BOOM! Studios with BE NOT AFRAID. This series is a mix of feminist rage and rural folk horror. Moreover, it’s a descent into Hell. It’s fueled by American Evangelical tradition and cosmic horror.
The Dark Tale of Cora and Her Child
Cora Reims lived a simple life. However, one summer day, an angel visited her. After that, Cora gave birth to a Nephilim. This child, the offspring of angels and humans, seemed evil.
Seventeen years later, his true nature shows. Frogs boil. Crops rot. Townspeople fear him. Furthermore, atrocities follow him.
On his 18th birthday, Cora gets a new vision. Heaven tells her to destroy her child.
