In 1884 a mine collapsed into itself. What was the dark substance found 666 feet underground?
Blending modern horror historical fact and Western lore Scott Snyder and Dan Panosian have
created a uniquely terrifying thriller with Canary . During the final days of the Gold Rush
one mining company in Utah pulled up radioactive Uranium and then the mine then collapsed in
on itself. Legends sprung up about the mine being cursed or even haunted. Now the Frontier is
closed and the gold and silver mines have dried up. The country is becoming “civilized ” and
yet in one stretch of the Rocky Mountains a terrifying new kind of violence is suddenly
emerging. Random killings. People going mad and murdering neighbors and classmates without real
cause. When a schoolboy kills his teacher with a hatchet a famous federal marshal named Azrael
William Holt is called in to investigate the killings. What he and a brilliant young geologist
uncover is stranger and more horrifying than anything they could have ever imagined.
