Countless Haints (comics story)

“My uncle Hugh McKay warned me to be wary of the ghosts and ghouls lurking in lonely, forgotten, and unwelcoming places. "Haints," he called them. They skulked in hollows and abandoned tobacco barns and old factories where men had broke their backs to make a dime. They were like the fingers of death, finding purchase in our world. And according to Hugh McKay, "Them things were everywhere."”
