Daphne Byrne (Hill House Comics)

When grieving, support can come in many ways. For Daphne, it came as a demon. The voice from beyond the veil… In the gaslit splendor of late-19th-century New York, rage builds inside 14-year-old Daphne. The sudden death of her father has left her alone with her grief-stricken mother. Emotionally adrift and living outside her means, the widow becomes easy prey for a group of occultists promising to contact her dead husband. While fighting to disentangle her mother from these charlatans, Daphne experiences a genuine supernatural encounter–a strange, insidious presence in her own body. “”Brother,”” a charming entity with unspeakable appetites, visits her in her dreams and whispers in her ear. Soon, Daphne is sharing his terrifying power. A demon? A ghost? Her own hallucination? Daphne can’t be sure what Brother is or what he wants. And even if she knew, could she stop him? Would she want to? An unsettling, blood-soaked tale from writer Laura Marks ( The Good Fight ) and artist Kelley Jones (Batman , The Sandman ), Daphne Byrne is part of DC’s smash-hit Hill House Comics library, curated by Joe Hill ( NOS4A2 , Locke & Key ). Collects the full six-issue miniseries as well as commentary and behind-the-scenes artwork. —- ISBN: 9781779504654 | ISBN10: 1779504659 | ISBN-13: 978-1779504654
