Demons of Liberty Row: A Boston Metaphysical Society Story

Severely injured in his last encounter, Samuel is forced to seek out the assistance of an African-American scientist and engineer by the name of Granville Woods. Suspicious of Samuel and his motives, and with his own secrets to keep, Granville refuses to help. But a demon has come to prey on Granville's neighborhood of Liberty Row and a close brush with death makes Granville realize he needs Samuel and Andrew's help after all.
Based on the webcomic BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY.
