Inked In Blood Hardcover Volume 2 Once Upon A Crime

There's always a sequel. INKED IN BLOOD 2: ONCE UPON A CRIME picks up the bloody trail left by the debut graphic novel from ICE NINE KILLS, with a shockingly "meta" twist. Max Charnas, the ne'er-do-well identical twin brother of INK mastermind Spencer Charnas, hatches (hatchets?) a plan to blackmail, frame, and ultimately destroy his cinema-obsessed sibling. Hard-living, duplicitous, and without scruples, sophisticated slasher Max will stop at nothing to carve away Spencer's life, one cut at a time. Our story begins at the Silver Scream Con horror convention, peeling back layers of history and lore that would make the Bateman family shiver, including Max's hedonistic nights at stately Charnas Manor. A family heirloom with a particularly sharp edge; a Silence mask disguise; a bloodthirsty public ready to see Spencer brought to "justice"; and all of the requisite mystery and intrigue that only a truly evil twin can summon. The chills, thrills, and bloody kills at the black heart of the ICE NINE KILLS mythology continue. ICE NINE KILLS frontman Spencer Charnas crafted the INKED IN BLOOD 2: ONCE UPON A CRIME story himself, with frequent collaborator Ryan J. Downey, a longtime journalist.
