It's winter 1899 in Hardgrove, Nebraska-a lonely little village in the middle of nowhere. Nothing ever happens in Hardgrove; farmers farm, shopkeepers tend to their shops, men gather at Mr. Henry's Tavern to drink and discuss crop prices. But things are about to change. It begins with a mysterious rain-an oily black rain that falls from peculiar green clouds and burns the skin. Then, one after another...the people return. People who are supposed to be dead. When They Came Back marks the first collaboration between writer Christopher Conlon, "one of the preeminent names in contemporary literary horror" (Booklist), and visionary art photographer Roberta Lannes-Sealey. It's a story of the living dead told in words and photographs that's unlike any you've ever encountered. Brace yourself...for When They Came Back.
