As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, an unsettling chill accompanies the transition to autumn. In the quiet, 19th-century mining town of Pennsylvania, an ominous secret is about to unfold. With just four days left in its Kickstarter campaign, A Pound of Flesh invites you to delve into a narrative rich with mystery and malevolence.
Set against the backdrop of a small rural town, A Pound of Flesh follows the harrowing tale of two sisters, Agatha and Anna Lee. Born into a world that can be cruel, Agatha faces constant ostracization due to her disfigurement while the town grapples with the arrival of thousands of orphaned children sent by train to serve as laborers in the mines. Their lives take a turn with the arrival of a new neighbor, Sophie, whose presence sparks both adventures and challenges.
As the sisters explore an abandoned cottage in the woods, they unwittingly confront the dark and malevolent forces lying in wait. Shadows twist and turn, covering up haunting secrets ready to be uncovered. Timothy Vandenberg, a seasoned talent in the film industry, channels his storytelling expertise into this comic, offering readers a chilling glimpse into a world where secrets fester like untreated wounds.
