Based on true events, from 1901-1908 Belle Gunness lured dozens of lonely men to her Indiana farm and savagely murdered them for their money. Because Belle managed to avoid capture and face trial, much of this story remains untold. Until now. This is a fairy-tale retelling of her brutal crimes from the perspective of her three young children…who soon discover there is something far worse, and far more evil, than their mother on the farm. Something Buried Long, Long Ago.
Buried Long, Long Ago is a historical fiction horror tale that combines real life events with a dark fairy tale element to create an enthralling narrative. Anthony Cleveland excels at exploring this unnerving tale while putting his own spin on it. Alex Cormack pairs wonderfully with Cleveland in brining his immense talents to the table to bring this comic to life in vivid fashion. I cannot wait for the rest of this series. Read Full Review
