FREAKS OF THE HEARTLAND
Trevor's monstrous little brother lives in the barn behind the house. The boy's only six years old,
but he towers over his older brother, and possesses incredible strength. For years, Trevor has
looked after his baby brother, keeping him from the light, but now that's all about to change. His
family's secret is about to be revealed, uncovering the horrible truth of the small midwestern town
the boys have grown up in.
Collected in a deluxe hardcover edition and sized at a generous 9" x 12", Freaks of the Heartland
has now been redesigned to perfectly display Ruth's stunning artwork.
