* IJustWantToBeNormal: Emmy wants to be human, just like everybody else, err.

%% * KillEmAll: What [[spoiler:Odessa and company]] have in store for [[spoiler: everyone in Harrow County who isn't Emmy]].

With this basic plot as the start, '''''Harrow County''''' creates a scary, grotesque, yet somehow charming world of skinless boys, eldritch demons, and shady townsfolk (not to mention southern dialects) all filtered through the naive eyes of Emmy as she tries to understand her place in the world. Giving the book much of its distinct look and feel is Tyler Crook's artwork which is colored exclusively with moody, rich watercolors. Currently NeedsWikiMagicLove.

''Harrow County'' is a horror comic by [[ComicBook/TheSixthGun Cullen Bunn]] and artist [[ComicBook/{{BPRD}} Tyler Crook]] published by DarkHorseComics from 2015 to the present. In a rural county in an unspecified part of 1930s southern USA, a witch named Hester Beck pulled herself from the earth and began a life. At first she acted as a healer and benefactor to the denizens of Harrow county, but over time as her powers grew, the monstrous costs associated began to be known. Strange monsters lurked in her shadows, strange blights followed in her footsteps, and her evil acts began to be overt. And so she was put to death (shot, stabbed, beaten, hung, and when all these failed, burned). But with her last breath, hanging from the branches of a withered oak, she promised an eventual return, and with it, a violent revenge.
