In Woodbrook's darkest days, many have died. The townsfolk have trembled, shivered, and cried. A horrific plan drives the fate of our bear. And unspeakable actions will give quite a scare. Join us now, as we finally lift the veil. As this, my friends, is the end of our tale.

Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry’s Busy, Busy Town in this twisted debut graphic novel! Don’t. Murder. The locals. This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace. So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Cute critters aren’t immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.

Sam’s foe was quick and mighty clever. Now Sam must skip town, maybe forever. The town doesn’t trust her, they think she’s the one. So Sam’s on her own, and alone she must run. But maybe, just maybe, she’ll learn in the wild. And return to that town, to face the devil child.

As Woodbrook quakes in terror, the killer runs free. The town now plans a funeral, instead of festivity. Sam has her suspicions, she’ll follow her hunch. She better act fast, or more bones might go crunch. But Sam isn’t afraid, she knows she’ll solve the case. Because the killer doesn’t know it, but they left a trace.

So now the stage is set, and Sam has ID’d her foe. But this town’s not big enough for both, so one of them must go. But first, there’s a meeting, where they’ll come face-to-face. If they can’t work it out, there will be a gruesome race. But it’s not quite that simple, and for once, Sam is scared. This foe knows quite a bit about her, and the things of which she cares.
