Thistlebone Book Two: Poisoned Roots cover

The sequel to the break-out 2000 AD horror graphic novel, in the vein of Ben Wheatley's In the Earth.

It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, the site of her terryifying experiences at the hands of Jasper Hillman’s THISTLEBONE worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. Intended as a cathartic experience, both women were changed forever by what they were confronted with. It has been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Eason back to the village of Harrowvale, the site of her terrifying experiences at the hands of Jasper Hillman’s Thistlebone worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. Intended as a cathartic experience, both women were changed forever by what they were confronted with. Now, in the process of researching a book on the Thistlebone legend, Seema believes much of it centres around one man — Malcolm Kinniburgh.

"A fetid, brackish wormy folk horror that will burrow under your skin and haunt you way after you have read it. You were drawn to this book.. give in." - Ben Wheatley (A Field in England, In the Earth, Kill List, Sightseers)
