THE VINEYARD is a family-owned winery that sows and reaps by the
blessing of the great god of wine and revelry, Dionysus. However, the
Vines family's patron god requires complete devotion in the form of four
sacrificial killings a year before each harvest. This has been done in
unfettered obeisance. But all of that changed when the family's
patriarch, Didache Vines, was in a horrible accident that left him
paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
Now, the sacrificial and murderous duties of the Vines family have
fallen to wife and matriarch, Maranatha Vines. With harvest season fast
approaching and the family short of their annual sacrificial killings,
Maranatha's struggle with her conscience puts all of her family -
husband, son and daughter - in jeopardy.
Written by Brian Hawkins (Black Cotton, Believe in the Name, Don't Ever
Blink) and illustrated by Sami Kivelä (THE HEATHENS, UNDONE BY BLOOD,
Abbott), THE VINEYARD is what happens when family values and
otherworldly obligations collide.
