Beta

by James Noll

A monster terrorizes an isolated village in the mountains of Eastern Europe, draining the blood of its victims, leaving them frozen in the snow. The villagers hunt wolves, decapitate “vampires,” but the murders continue. As each new body is found, the residents grow more and more paranoid. Who will be next? Will it ever end?

Enjoy this special edition of “Beta,” illustrated by Grant Ervin. And don’t forget to read the special excerpt from Raleigh’s Prep at the end!
