From #1 New York Times bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kiersten White and James Tynion IV, one of today's most acclaimed voices in horror and comics, comes a chilling, standalone prequel novel to the Eisner Award-winning, New York Times bestselling comic series Something Is Killing the Children.

Welcome to the dark. It has very sharp teeth.

Based on the internationally bestselling comic series, with millions of copies in print, the first full-length novel from the terrifying world of Something Is Killing the Children - a stunning collaboration between Eisner-winning co-creator James Tynion IV and #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White

As a Black Mask, Erica Slaughter has a very straightforward job- find the monster, kill the monster, then do it all again. But when she arrives in Badwater, Idaho, nothing is simple. She can't determine whether the horrific killer of a twelve-year-old was a bear, a person, or something much worse. Complicating matters is the charismatic doomsday preacher who is quickly leading the small town to the verge of hysteria. If Erica wants to save the surviving children, she has to figure out which kid's fears might have summoned a monster - and fast. Erica must get to the truth before the Order and the town come to the same conclusion- to stop the monster, you have to kill the girl.

Hope Is a Knife is a chilling, original tale in SIKTC lore, where monsters are real and only the hunters of the Order of St. George are equipped to challenge them. Whether or not you've already devoured the Eisner Award-winning comics, this standalone vision of supernatural horror is a thrill ride of the highest order.
