About The Book

For the first time since the Department of Truth was founded, its highest official just revealed the whole, sordid history to a journalist—a journalist who happens to be agent Cole Turner’s husband.

Can their relationship survive the cold, hard facts? And will it all be for nothing once Black Hat mounts their counter-offensive to the DoT’s riskiest gamble yet?

ALSO IN THIS VOLUME: High school outcast Frank is addicted to finding the darkest corners of the internet. But now those dark corners are reaching through the screen with very long fingers and very sharp teeth… BEWARE THE HAT MAN.

Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (W0RLDTR33, The Nice House on the Lake) and Eisner Award-nominated artist MARTIN SIMMONDS (UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: DRACULA) test the limit of the written word, while fan-favorite artist LETIZIA CADONICI (House of Slaughter) joins for DoT’s pitch-black spin on CreepyPasta.
