The story
An inheritance
best left buried.
A return to a forgotten family home draws its heir towards the crumbling streets of Innsmouth—and towards a history that reaches far beyond ordinary human memory.
Deadly Inheritance is written and illustrated by Keith Talbot, combining hand-drawn pages with carefully constructed digital reference, environments and character work.
