The Devil's Rose

By Brom and 

From the creator of Plucker comes another illustrated novel, set in Texas and hell. Escapees from hell fill the pages of this book, terrifying and slaying the living as they try to flee their guards from the underworld. Cole, one of the undead, has been sent to reclaim these souls in flight and return them to the fiery depths. But one escaped soul is not like the others: Rath. He in fact wants to return to hell. But why? And why does Cole, a tormented soul from hell strive to capture his fellow mates? It has to do with a woman named Rose, who he did wrong and a pact he made with the devil.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

What an amazing book!The illistrations and story are great!Came across this book by accident glad I bought it.Definatly recommend it for others!

Excellent story and artwork

I hesitate when I see a book like this. Sure the art work might be great (and in this case it certainly is with 51 great pieces) but the story is often lame or just a clumsy attempt to link all the pieces of artwork into some type of story. This surpassed my expectations. A real plot, fascinating story and sympathetic characters. This is the type of story that I want to read over and over again.

Brom does it again!

Brom delivers another flawless piece of work with his follow up to Plucker, The Devil's Rose. Not only is his art as gorgeous and frightening as ever but he has really grown as a writer as well.

Awesome...

Really rad story, could do with a sequel, as thats how it ends. Could of also done with a slipcover, as it's a Hardback, I wonder if any else noticed this ? Not a big deal, but The Plucker has one, so yeah. Love those revolvers !

Holy Hell Bells!

Holy Hell Bells! Brom takes it up a notch. Brom's incredible paintings mixed with his ability to weave a tale takes you on a real ride. Page after page of amazing paintings are worth the price of admission alone, but the story is just as amazing. I found myself deeply moved by the plight of these tortured souls. Highly recommended!
