When Oscar, recuperating from a divorce, takes a job as a fire lookout in a remote forest outpost, he unearths a mangled sheet of paper inscribed with a strange set of rules that promise to keep him safe during his watch. Oscar laughs it off as a prank – a bit of light hazing from the other fire lookouts in the area – but when night falls, he discovers that the rules and threats they protect against are all too real. Written by Dan Baillie, this taut illustrated prose thriller features gorgeous full-color painted illustrations by acclaimed cover artist Tim Bradstreet (The Punisher, Hellblazer) and marks the debut of the “Future of Fear” collaboration between AWA and acclaimed producer Roy Lee’s Vertigo Entertainment (Barbarian, It, Late Night with the Devil).” Date Available: 05/07/2025
