Publisher Description

The pack-hunting White Masks take center stage in the thrilling "Alabaster" arc set in the bestselling, award-winning world of Something is Killing the Children!

In the ruthless war against monsters, nothing is unthinkable or off-limits for the White Masks. A fan-favorite White Mask named Bait (a mute boy with amputated arms and a tendency to survive suicidal odds), is dispatched with a mission more malicious than imaginable in a group home for children. While Bait does his best to ignore the children's cruelty toward him, he's left with more questions than answers after monsters attack. What does a kind, mysterious girl named Nannette have to do with what's going on? With Bait's fellow White Masks Paris and Tybalt keeping the pressure on, and Scarlet Mask Gerde's secret scheming in the shadows, writer Sam Johns (Punchline) and artist Letizia Cadonici (The Neighbors) take House of Slaughter to new emotional depths of terror. Collects House of Slaughter #16-20.
