The Cloven: Book Three
In The Cloven: Book Three, our hero, Tuck, the most successful Cloven ever created, is discovered frozen solid in a mountain river. Reanimated by the medicinal mushrooms of The Healer, a legendary member of the Feral Herd of Cloven, Tuck easily integrates with his half-brothers and sisters with the help of Willie, a human "stray" who lives with the Herd. Tuck finds himself on the verge of taking over the Herd and leading them out of the shadows of the mountain mines and into daylight, until he sees a People magazine cover in a mini mart with a photo of a very pregnant Stella Goff, and a headline: "But Who's the Daddy?" Tuck knows all too well who's the daddy, and he now must leave his Feral friends to track down the daughter of the richest man in the world...
Moody and mysterious and atmospheric as a fever dream, The Cloven is a raucous, funny, and dynamic sci-fi graphic novel series about James "Tuck" Tucker, a genetically modified human organism known as a Cloven, written by Garth Stein (The Art of Racing in the Rain) and drawn by Matthew Southworth (co-creator of the graphic novel series Stumptown), two of today's bestselling and critically acclaimed storytellers.

Praise for this book
The bold, chunky art boasts a strong Frank Miller influence and gets better as the volume unfolds, engaging in bravura action sequences and daring pops of color.-- "Publishers Weekly"
From the first stark, cut-you-to-the-bone scene, The Cloven is riveting -- a delightful modern-day twist on the Frankenstein story. The writing is stylistically dark; the art is vivid and strikingly beautiful. Stein and Southworth have created a masterful and unique world.--Neal Bascomb (author of The Winter Fortress and Faster)
Wildly, dizzyingly imaginative, and grimly allegorical.--Erik Larson (author of The Devil in the White City)
The evocative, unsettling world building is nicely matched by the shadowy artwork. The inky black silhouettes of the towering conifers and looming mountains of the Pacific Northwest, set against warm, saturated, watercolor-wash backgrounds of peachy sunsets, violet dusk, and bright-yellow artificial light are particularly striking.-- "Booklist"
