Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion present Let This One Be a Devil, the first story in a new set of True Weird tales from James Tynion IV and various other creators.

In the early 1900s, Henry Naughton returns home to the family farm in the swampy Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. One night, he encounters a strange predator stalking the woods. This sends the young scholar on a research project that uncovers the legend of Mother Leeds and the terrible birth of the Jersey Devil in 1735.
