See the Harlem Renaissance as you never have before as the Eisner Award-winning series continues! COLLECTS BITTER ROOT #11-15.

Now, though, there's a new breed of monster loose on the streets of Harlem, and the Sangerye family must either come together or watch the human race fall to untold evil. Collects BITTER ROOT #1-5."

But now, the Sangeryes face a different threat-the deadly inzondo, a new kind of monster born out of grief and trauma. With one of their own turning into an inzondo, and an army of tortured souls on the attack in 1920s Harlem, the Sangerye family must once again fight to save the world, unless their own pain and suffering transform them into monsters as well! Collects BITTER ROOT #6-10 and Red Summer Special."
