Overview

Silence of the Lambs meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this pitch-black holiday horror story that cuts right through our most taboo notions.

Fifty years later, a troubled young writer interviews this so-called ""Deviant Killer,"" who still maintains his innocence from behind bars.

Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (W0RLDTR33, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH) and acclaimed artist JOSHUA HIXSON (The Plot, Children of the Woods) unite for a psychological crime thriller that explores the intersection of queer identities and a broader scope of cultural transgression and deviance.
