Feature graphic novels from publishers like Tor are rare, and as such, deserve attention when they come along.

The FurnacePrentis Rollins‘ first full length graphic novel, The Furnace, is a look at re-examining choices, use and misuse of technological advances, and oppression.

THE FURNACE is the story of Walton Honderich, a middle-aged physicist circa 2050, trying to come to terms with his youthful involvement in a crime against humanity: the devolopment of a means of incarceration that reduces prisoners to the status of living ghosts. THE FURNACE is a sci-fi story about a dark and looming possibility, an examination of the pitfalls of parenthood, and a uniquely American horror story.

The Furnace goes on sale July 10.
