In this illuminating issue, we dive into the history of Budd St. Pierre, Theresa’s late grandfather. Burdened with bad omens as he trudges through the mundanity of his life in Limberlost, Budd reflects on his past, present, and future. He can’t shake the feeling that something bad is coming…something that may have lasting effects over the ones he holds close.
