FLESH AND BLOOD
​
The discovery of a partially eaten corpse on the side of a road relights a smouldering obsession for paramedic Ruth Saran, bringing her back to the tormenting question: who killed her husband?
​
Her quest leads her into the frigid depths of Scotland – and deep into danger – as she approaches a deadly reckoning with a family of killers who share a strange and grisly secret.
​
Crime drama and supernatural strangeness collide in this critically acclaimed full colour graphic novel drawn by legendary British artist Chris Geary.

“Fantastic… Art, storytelling, colours are all really excellent!”
– writer/artist David Hine (Spawn, Spider-Man Noir, The Bulletproof Coffin)
“Got to tell you, I'm impressed by this... [it] reminded me of Miller's Whiteout cover. Art-wise, it definitely looks like Year One/Born Again vibes. As a thriller it could happily sit on the shelf alongside Brubaker and Philips.”

Chris and I attended the same drawing class in Camberwell for many years. I would always marvel at his ability to capture a face or a pose in a few deft lines. Then he showed me his comics work and I was blown away by his skill at conjuring a scene. We would sit in the pub for hours talking about film and storytelling, but it took a scandalously long time to realise we should work on something together.
​
We decided our first book should indulge our shared fascination with British horror. Chris really wanted to draw some dramatic snowy landscapes, and I wanted to channel and update some meaty gothic tropes, so it felt like a perfect fit. As a screenwriter I'm used to being constrained by prosaic concerns like budget, the whims of actors and directors, and the 'needs of the market' – so I loved working with a true artist on a project that had no constraints beyond imagination!
