The RUSH: This Hungry Earth Reddens Under Snowclad Hills

by Si Spurrier, Nathan C. Gooden (Illustrator), Addison Duke (Colorist), Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Letterer), Adrian F. Wassel (Editor)

Overview

Dan Simmons' The Terror meets Deadwood in The RUSH, historical horror that chills to the bone. Answer the call of the wild north and stampede to the Klondike for the rush of gold and blood.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD. ALL THAT HUNGERS IS NOT HOLY. ALL THAT LIVE ARE NOT ALIVE.

This Hungry Earth Reddens Under Snowclad Hills.

1899, Yukon Territory. A frozen frontier, bloodied and bruised by the last great Gold Rush. But in the lawless wastes to the North, something whispers in the hindbrains of men, drawing them to a blighted valley, where giant spidertracks mark the snow and impossible guns roar in the night.

To Brokehoof, where gold and blood are mined alike. Now, stumbling towards its haunted forests comes a woman gripped not by greed — but the snarling rage of a mother in search of her child...

From Si Spurrier (Way of X, Hellblazer, The Dreaming) and Nathan C. Gooden (Barbaric Vol. 1: Murderable Offenses, Barbaric Vol.2: Axe to Grind, Brandon Sanderson's Dark One, Vampire: The Masquerade) comes THE RUSH, a dark, lyrical delve into the horror and madness of the wild Yukon.

Collects the entire series. For fans of The Terror, Fortitude, Coda,Call of the Wild, Deadwood, and Moonshine.

"Gritty historical drama meets supernatural horror in this sumptuously drawn tale set during the Yukon Gold Rush." — Publishers Weekly

"The Rush is a chilling bit of historical horror. Rugged and raw and thoroughly researched. It's got such a wonderfully creepy sense of menace but most of all it's the moving story of a mother searching for her child, that's its beating heart. Wonderful work." — Victor Lavalle (author and Shirley Jackson Award winner for the fantasy-horror novella, The Ballad of Black Tom, as well as The Changeling, winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel, and the British Fantasy Award for Best Horror Novel)

"The Rush is a splendidly savage tale of frontier scum and the doom they’ve brought down upon themselves, and the innocents cursed to suffer alongside them. I for one can’t wait to see more." — Garth Ennis (Eisner Award- winning writer of Preacher, The Boys, Hitman, Punisher, The Darkness)

"Strikes a wealthy mixed vein of sophisticated psychological chills and monstrous horror." — Publishers Weekly

About the Author

Simon “Si” Spurrier writes novels and comics. His work in the latter field stretches from award winning creator-owned books such as Numbercruncher, Six-Gun Gorilla and The Spire to projects in the U.S. mainstream like Hellblazer, The Dreaming, and X-Men. It all began with a series of twist-in-the-tail stories for the UK’s beloved 2000AD, which ignited an enduring love for genre fiction. His latest book, Coda, is being published by Boom! Studios at present. His prose works range from the beatnik neurosis-noir of Contract to the occult whodunnit A Serpent Uncoiled via various franchise and genre-transgressing titles. In 2016 he took a foray into experimental fiction with the e-novella Unusual Concentrations: a tale of coffee, crime and overhead conversations.

Acclaimed artist Nathan Gooden is known for co-creating the bestselling comic, Barbaric, as well as his work on Brandon Sanderson’s Dark One, and Dark Knights of Steel. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland and plays a lot of basketball.
