Plot

A young girl and her family's tranquil existence on a farm is interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious and sinister new farmhand.

Reception

Critic Foxx Emm wrote that the comic has "all the eerie darkness that we expect from horrifying classic stories like The Monkey's Paw and The Tell Tale Heart, but with a more modern twist and Cullen Bunn’s signature flare. The artwork by A.C. Zamudio and coloring by Carlos Nicolas Zamudio bring the story to life in vivid color and make the disturbing nature of the story much more salient."[4] Tyler Sewell wrote "While most of the endings of horror novels tend to cling to the cliché or leave me disappointed, Death Follows gives you proper closure and remains consistent with its dark nature. It's one of those books that sticks with you after reading and makes you a little nauseous to think about. It's gory, it's haunting, and true to Bunn’s words, it's dark."[5] Zac Thompson of Bloody-Disgusting wrote "[A.C.] Zamudio’s art has a homespun feel that really understands the environment of the book. Characters look weathered and tired. The drifter has an air of otherworldly personification, but only from the right angles. It's the type of chilling stuff that’ll have you giving the book a second glance."[6]
