Emmy finds out more about her real family as she stands against supernatural entities threatening to destroy Harrow County and, ultimately, herself. Additionally, hunters from a neighboring town have heard tales of the creatures wandering the woods in Harrow County and want to prove their mettle by bringing one of them back. They may regret their decision in the end. Later, Emmy’s “haints” lead her to one of their kin who is strung up and dead. Emmy determines the killing was committed by someone familiar with how to kill them. When she finds her friend Bernice is responsible, their bonds of friendship and trust are further tested as they stand on opposing sides. Can they come together to face the evil that Emmy’s family has resurrected from the earth?

Harrow County, Library Edition Volume 3 contains volumes 5 and 6 of the series. It includes a sketchbook, art and painting process notes, a selection of “Tales of Harrow County” shorts by guest creators, and more. I love all the shorts that include the goblin, Priscilla. She’s adorably fierce.

This is a great continuation of Emmy’s story. Bunn keeps the suspense and adventure going well. As with the previous volumes, this is a fast-paced story, but the artwork will keep you on a page longer than you need to read. Crook’s art is fantastic and makes a great pairing with Bunn’s story. This is first time I have reviewed a physical copy, too. The oversized hardcover book is beautiful. The photographs I have included don’t do it justice. If you can get yourself a physical copy, I recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.

 

Contains: blood, body horror, gore

 

Highly recommended
