Prometheus Graft: The Slayings at Death's End #1

FROM THE ASHES OF FRANKENSTEIN’S DESTRUCTION . . . A NEW KIND OF DETECTIVE IS BORN! This winter, acclaimed writer George Northy (Yuletide, EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and Eisner Award–nominated artist Caitlin Yarsky (Dead Teenagers, Black Hammer) invite you to a distant castle to behold a meticulously crafted, first-of-its-kind comics murder mystery starring the greatest man-made monster of all . . . Decades after his creation, the creature once known as Frankenstein’s Monster has reinvented himself as Europe’s most formidable mind. After years underground, his scars have faded and his genius-level intellect has tamed his hulking nature . . . revealing an extraordinary talent for solving the world’s most inexplicable mysteries. Today, he is Prometheus Graft: gentleman detective, expert investigator . . . and something still not quite entirely human. Now, on the cusp of a new century set to be ruled by science over superstition, Graft believes he has finally conquered his monstrous past . . . until he is summoned to the remote Romanian castle of Death’s End, where an immortal lord has assembled Europe’s most feared supernatural beings to broker a long-lasting peace. But their fragile treaty will soon be shattered when the corpse of a powerful family’s envoy is found murdered in the castle’s hedge maze . . . turning witch against werewolf and vampire against ghoul as suspicion and bloodshed spiral. With only his instincts and a bloodstained trail of clues to guide him, can Prometheus Graft solve the slayings at Death’s End before a new day breaks . . . and all hell follows with it?
