"Change is inevitable. An ending. A new beginning. Everything in between is merely an obstacle. A weed to be plucked out. Stay tuned." -- A mysterious new killer is disrupting the scene by targeting other slashers that they deem irrelevant. Will Riley and HVK be able to stay ahead of the innovation curve and stay off this new killer's radar? Or is it too late to teach this old lion some new tricks?

About the Author

Justin Richards is a writer who mostly hides away in the mountains of the PNW and creates comic books when they're not busy being a parent and dog dad, working at their local comic shop and occasionally gaming. They created and wrote the hit series Finger Guns from Vault Comics, have appeared in many anthologies including Lower Your Sights and Sharp Wit&the Company of Women, and have self-published A Silent Night and Everything is Different Now with the help of crowdfunding. Their work is usually full of horror, satire, music and emotional devastation. When they're not writing they can be found playing video games, re-watching Sonic 3 or playing with their dogs.

Val Hal Halvorson is a comic book creator and horror illustrator who almost never goes outside. He is the artist for the Vault series, Finger Guns, as well as various anthologies such as Dead Beats 2, and Grimm Tales from the Cave. In addition to illustrating, he also likes to write comics and he is not kind to his characters. He wrote and illustrated the short horror comic, Pareidolia, which was featured in Panel x Panel. Junji Ito once reviewed his work positively in a video for Vis Media and he'll never stop telling people about it. In his spare time, he consumes a ton of horror media, bakes a bunch of bread, and won't shut up about 90's FMV games.
