An excerpt from the second part of a horror-noir series exploring themes of power, nature and fear, 2012.

Editor's note: I'm not sure what it means in Freudian terms, but Anuj draws a LOT of people with heads transforming into flowers. Honestly, it doesn't matter what it means to me, as long as he keeps at it. I could stare at one of those elegantly rendered flower heads for hours. In fact, I may be doing that soon once I scrape up the cash for the oversized print I was eyeing at MoCCA.


Three panels from "Another One Down", appeared in Rabid Rabbit #13
