Fleeing the site of a secondary vampire infestation in the cold, wilds of Alaska, a band of survivors arrive at a climate change facility during the final days of a long period of extended daylight. The inhabitants of the research compound are trying to determine the nature of a strange object found in the ice when the survivors arrive, leading to a frightening and bloody confrontation between humans and vampires and an odd and unexpected guest!

It's Barrow, Alaska, and it's dark, so you know what that means! Or do you? In the ballistic series finale, Trudy, Bud, and their fellow humans are trapped as the vicious She and her gang of rabid vampires mount an all-out attack. All would seem lost, but the humans have a secret weapon to turn the tide of battle-an ancient Golem with a very, very bad temper! Written and illustrated by horror legends Joe Lansdale and Sam Kieth!

Refugee cannibals? Maruading vampires? Attacking, wild bears? A homicidal golem, asleep for ages yet read to rise once again, and out for blood? An unforgiving, icy tundra? Yes, all this insanity and more in this issue, all from twisted tale-spinners Joe Lansdale and Sam Kieth! Believe it... believe it all.

After a strange party of half-starved wanderers make their way to the weather-changing station, it is soon learned they they've created their own bloody swath across the icy wastelands of the Antarctic while being pursued by rabid vampires. Meanwhile, what secret does the WWII torpedo discovered in the ice hide, and why is there something knocking on the inside of it?

On Active Grounds considers the themes of agency and time through the burgeoning, interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities. Fourteen essays and a photo album cover topics such as environmental practices and history, temporal literacy, graphic novels, ecocinema, ecomusicology, animal studies, Indigeneity, wolf reintroduction, environmental history, green conservatism, and social-ecological systems change. The book also speaks to the growing concern regarding environmental issues in the aftermath of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP21) and the election of Donald Trump in the United States. This collection is organized as a written and visual appeal to issues such as time (how much is left?) and agency (who is active? what can be done? what does and does not work?). It describes problems and suggests solutions. On Active Grounds is unique in its explicit and twinned emphasis on time and agency in the context of the Environmental Humanities and a requisite interdisciplinarity.
