Warren Ellis' Blackgas #2 Variant

A small, obscure island off the East Coast of America sits atop its own diminutive fault on the underlying tectonic plate. It has a peculiar history that almost everyone overlooks... until the night of the massive storm, the fissure in the fault line, and the unleashing of something vile from the bowels of the earth, swept over the tiny town of Smoky Island. Now, the only two individuals on the island who were beyond its influence are stranded on a dark sliver of rock, surrounded by inhabitants who are no longer human—they began to devour one another just an hour ago!
