Just as she's getting ready to tell the dispatcher about what or who is committing the murders, Katie is attacked by a male figure with glowing red eyes.

The comic then flashes back to six months prior, showing Katie talking with her parents about advertising her apartment on a house swap website.

During a video she makes mention of a nearby dule tree where they hung purported witches and odd things she noticed about the house, such as bird bones set in the mortar of some of the doors.

The first issue ends with Katie briefly seeing an image of a strange man in her bathroom mirror, but dismissing it as a figment of her imagination.

"[5] Comic Book Resources gave the first issue four stars, as they felt that it was "a rare combination of great characterization and heart-stopping horror that doesn't resort to clichés, instead focusing on the characters and their 21st century influences.
