  Trevor and Will decide to locate the others like Will.

Publisher’s description

It’s not too late to experience the horror comics sensation of 2004 that critics are calling Steve Niles’ “most gripping (concept) to date.” Freaks of the Heartland documents the unveiling of the dreaded secret locked in the hearts of everyone in a tiny Bible Belt town— a secret that has come to threaten the very lives of the town’s most innocent citizens. Trevor Owen and his younger, misunderstood brother, Will, are now on the run after the sad, unfortunate death of their father. But they’re not only running to get away from the consequences of what they’ve done—they’re hoping to find the other misunderstood victims of the town’s paranoia and ignorance to see if any other children like Will survived their phenomenal births—and can escape with them. But in a such a small town, news travels fast, so it won’t be long until the whole town comes after them.
