PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Alan Moore and Bryan Talbot rocked fandom by revealing Nightjar, their creation from 23 years ago, in the pages of Yuggoth Cultures #1.  Now the story Alan Moore outlined is continuing on from where he left it two decades ago, this time by his frequent collaborator, writer Antony Johnston. As the moon rises over Halloween on Pendle Hill,  Mirrigan settles down to spend one last night with her old friend Brian, before starting on the mission to avenge her father. But events are about to overtake her, and tonight Mirrigan is destined to be an epicenter of violence. A vicar, a photographer, a child and a killer are drawn into the deadly games Birds play... Many of them will not live to see the dawn.
