As the reincarnated Snake Goddess, Jess has wreaked a path of vengeance against the '68,' those who had ruthlessly desecrated the sacred temple of the Snake God in the eighteenth century. Harker, head of the '68,' is pleased with the arrangement he's made with Jess, and is determined to end the cycle of reincarnation he faces by helping her kill those he is meant to lead - even if that means destroying The Faithful, the secret society within the '68' created to protect its members from any harm. As the blood count rises, Jess finds herself amidst a labyrinth of duplicity. Between The Faithful, Harker, and those closest to Jess, who can she trust, and who will pay the price of the Snake Woman's blood bath? (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

A ganja-fueled road trip through the desert turns deadly in this shocking horror tale. On one last bender with his best friend on the eve of his wedding, Rishi crashes into and kills an old mystic known as a Kapalik. Rather than confessing their crime, they burn the body on the ghats of India's famed 'city of death' Varanasi and erase all evidence of the mystic's existence. It's a perfect cover-up, except for the fact that you can destroy a Kapalik's physical body, but his soul forever lingers...and in this case seeks bloody revenge. (immagine) Categoria: Comics
