About this ebook

Trevor's monstrous little brother lives in the barn behind the house. The boy's only six years old, but he towers over his older brother, and possesses incredible strength. For years, Trevor has looked after his baby brother, keeping him from the light, but now that's all about to change. His family's secret is about to be revealed, uncovering the horrible truth of the small midwestern town the boys have grown up in.

Collected in a deluxe hardcover edition and sized at a generous 9" x 12", Freaks of the Heartland has now been redesigned to perfectly display Ruth's stunning artwork.

This is an excellent comic, especially from an art direction standpoint. I picked this comic up by chance at a local comic shop and was wowed by how good it was for something I've never heard of. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes checking out unique, underapreciated comics, as well as horror fans in general.
