In Ottoman Greece, a motherless girl named Daphne leads a suffocating farmer's life. When her older brother dies after a short illness, her patriarch father curses God for leaving him with only a daughter. Unable to pay the local priest for his son's burial, he compels Daphne to go to the village and beg for money. Daphne gets rejected and mocked by the villagers, and flees to the mountains, where she finds a gold pouch. She dares to dream — this could be her way out. But just before she's about to carry out her escape plan, the Devil pays her a visit. These lands belong to him. And payment is due.
Black Mass Rising author Theo Prasidis and emerging artist Staša Gacpar invite you to the mystical countryside of 19th century Greece, a land wreathed in legends and superstition. Inspired by actual folktales of the time, THE GIRL, THE PRIEST, AND THE DEVIL is a captivating graphic novel with the otherworldly quality of the weird folklore of old.
Theo Prasidis is a Greek writer and graphic novelist, published by Image Comics, TKO Studios, Scout Comics, and Dead Sky Publishing. He writes quixotic fantasies about hidden folklore, bizarre rituals and wistful dreams.
Staša Gacpar is a Serbian-Croatian illustrator. She primarily creates watercolor paintings of folk life and tales from South-Eastern Europe. Her work attempts to give a voice to South Slavic and Balkan people, as well as to introduce an audience to the natural beauty of those cultures.
