Y'all are in for a helluva ride with this one. This title is RBE's darkest, far darker even than DEMONS. I mean, really, everyone knows the extents demons and demon killers go to - they can only do so much. In CRAZY TOWN? We don't do extents here; there are no limits. Why do we call it crazy? In this town, we got 13 folks who step into the dark, then poke the blackest corner of it; 13 inquisitive minds who dig into the slime, then stir up whatever twitches; 13 cynical souls who may not be able to save themselves but just might redeem something outta their miserable lives. This town? Lotsa crazies here; coming here might not be just what the doc ordered.
