Deep in the Ozark Mountains lies the village of Dooney Hollow, hidden away from modern society for over a century. Its existence is only spoken of around campfires, in hushed tones, by people who don’t necessarily believe. Those who stumble upon Dooney Hollow never return to prove that it’s real, because dark forces lurk in the woods just outside the town gate.

Kerri is a young graduate student who goes to the Ozarks to get a feel for the land and its people — and its local legends. Little does she know how close to these legends she will get, as a chance encounter in the forest leads her to ceremonial grounds and the terrifying more

    The Folk of Dooney Hollow #1 creeps into the Ozarks with an unsettling first chapter that makes the wilderness feel increasingly hostile. Jeremy Haun and Alex Lins build their horror patiently, grounding the story in Kerri before revealing just enough ritualistic imagery and creature horror to suggest something deeply wrong is waiting for her. Lins' enormous, nature-infused monster is especially effective, giving the series a threat that already feels distinctive. The mystery may be held back a little too aggressively, making the entire issue feel like an extended cold open, but the atmosphere and central character provide plenty of reason to venture deeper into Dooney Hollow.
