Jordy questions his own existence—and the God who allowed it—while wrestling with the evil rooted deep inside of him. Meanwhile, Cora prepares to end the horror she brought into the world, but the strength of her resolve is tested when it matters most. As the people of Enoch perform desperate acts of sacrifice among the rotting crops and decaying animals, their devotion reveals a darker truth…
Jude Ellison S. Doyle is an author, journalist, and comic book writer living in upstate New York.
Under his former pen name “Sady Doyle,” Jude founded the feminist blog Tiger Beatdown in 2008. He is the author of "Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear... and Why" (Melville House 2016), which has been called "smart, funny and fearless" (Boston Globe), "compelling" and "persuasive" (New York Times Book Review). The Atlantic predicted that "Trainwreck will very likely join the feminist canon." Doyle’s second book, "Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy and the Fear of Female Power" (Melville House, 2019) was named a Best Non-Fiction Book of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews and was shortlisted for Starburst Magazine’s Brave New Words award. His first non-fiction book under his real name, "DILF: Did I Leave Feminism," will be published by Melville House in the fall of 2025.
In 2021, Jude published "Maw," a limited-series horror comic with artist A.L. Kaplan, for Boom! Studios. His follow-up, "The Neighbors" with artist Letizia Cadonici, was published in 2023, and was nominated for a 2024 GLAAD award for “Outstanding Comic.” Both are now available in collected edition, and Jude’s third series, "Be Not Afraid" with artist Lisandro Estherren, is forthcoming from Boom! Studios.
Wow! This was brutal, twisted, depressing, and dark. We learn about horrifying offerings and a gut wrenching sequence with Cora. Also, the way the scene in the school doesn't show you what happens makes it even more terrifying. This is one of the better horror issues that I have read in a long time and I am in agony that I have to wait until January 2026 to read issue 5. What a great way to start off the spooky month of October.
