Cora Reims lived the isolated life of a simple farm girl until one fateful summer day, prophetic visions brought her a visitor made of pure light… an angel. In the aftermath, Cora gave birth to a child, a Nephilim: the offspring of an angel and a human woman, seemingly imbued with evil itself.
17 years later, that child’s cherubic appearance can no longer hide his monstrous nature. Frogs boil in their skins as he passes. Crops rot. The townspeople live in fear, knowing that atrocities follow closely behind him.
Now, on the eve of his 18th birthday, Cora receives a new vision… Heaven itself has called upon her to destroy the abomination born of her own flesh and blood.
Be Not Afraid is a breathtaking new series from visionary writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Maw, Hello Darkness) and acclaimed artist Lisandro Estherren (Nightmare Country, Redneck).
Equal parts feminist rage and folk horror, this descent into Hell itself is fueled by the mythological underpinnings of American Evangelical tradition, presenting brutal cosmic horror through the lens of Southern Gothic; a truly otherworldly journey that can not be missed.
