From MATT SHAW (Sick B*stards, PORN, WHORE and many more) comes the story of a new breed of serial killer - a stranger who travels the country kidnapping his victims before torturing them and discarding them in a field, dressed up as scarecrows. Each and every sordid act is scrawled within the pages of the monster's own personal horror book; a book with two words written upon the front... DON'T READ.
