Writer Lovern Kindzierski and artist John Bolton return to the world of Shame. This new story picks up where Shame left off, and makes a perfect jumping on point for new readers.
Shame is dead, her demon father blasted back to hell. Hope, newly born into the body of a young woman, stumbles from the battle-scarred castle still filled with Shame's malevolent servants. The evil queen may have been defeated, but her dark forces are determined to stamp out Hope's return to the world.

Editorial Reviews
"...a surreal fantasy that utilises the pages of a comic to transport you into a different world where you will be at a constant state of unease and wonder." (Fox Force Five)
"Beautifully rendered by an absolute master in his field, John Bolton's art is brilliant. So much detail and expertly applied colouring produce a frameable work of fine art in nearly every panel. Lovern Kindzierski's prose is equally as exceptional and deep." (First Comics News)
"This book is a pure joy to behold. Every page crackles with a sumptuous, organic energy. Highly recommended." (Paul Pope, Eisner award winning artist and writer.)
"Sensuous art and luscious coloring. A visually unique book." (P. Craig Russell, Eisner award winning writer and artist.)
"Beautiful and haunting, Shame looks and feels like a dream." (Fangoria Magazine)
"Bolton's fully-painted art makes it feel like a comic book that escaped from the Renaissance, and the tragic narrative will keep you hooked." (Mike Donachie, Toronto Star)
