Praise for East District
“Ash H.G.’s graphic novel EAST DISTRICT evokes Los Bros Hernandez, David Lynch, and Guido Crepax…” —from the foreword by Stefano Gaudiano (KAFKA, DETECTIVE COMICS, and THE WALKING DEAD)
“EAST DISTRICT by Ash H. G. is an eloquently quiet and beautifully disturbing, thought-provoking, and uniquely articulated apocalyptic horror noir comic story that hit me hard and struck deep.” —Farel Dalrymple (POP GUN WAR, THE WRENCHIES)
“Ash H.G.’s raw primal and atmospheric approach weaves a tense web with functional simplicity. Gripping, suspenseful and unsettling – like being caressed by a wooden hand.” —Wilfred Santiago (IN MY DARKEST HOUR, 21: THE STORY OF ROBERTO CLEMENTE)
A genre-bending horror psycho drama; an exploration of fear, spirituality, lust, depraved violence, and mystical force, set in a strangely familiar world.
EAST DISTRICT opens with 3 teen boys, apparently disposing of the body of a battered youth out by the tracks. One of their friends has been missing, but the body’s not hers. “Light as a baby,” says Marvin, dragging the body across the plains, then wrapping it in a trash bag and slinging the bundle over his back. The boys go to a Science teacher, who instructs them to stash the bag in his shed. “I knew Mr.Cobb would understand. He was in the service.” What’s happening inside the chain-link fenced borders of East District?
