Blending elements of crime noir with classic monster horror, FERALS #1 begins with the personal tale of Officer Dale Chesnutt, a lawman in the sleepy town of Cypress. Folks are turning up not just dead, but slaughtered in bestial fashion.

1814, near the little village of Hartlepool England, a war-ship in the Napoleonic fleet sinks.
