When the children of Archer's Peak begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. The few children that return alive have terrible stories-impossible details of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows. Their only hope is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to be the only adult who sees what they can see. Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it must be done.

A perfect starting point for new readers and die hard Slaughterverse fans alike, each standalone issue of this arc highlights Erica’s appearance in five different American towns, chronicling her journey that forged her into the unparalleled monster hunter she is today.
