Marko Hautala & Broci: Varpaat
Kriisiin ajautunut reppureissaajapariskunta päätyy ranskalaiseen pikkukylään.
Majatalossa heidän pöytäänsä tunkeutuu mies, jolla on villi retkiehdotus muinaisiin luolastoihin, joihin ei virallisten oppaiden kanssa ole asiaa.
Muukalainen nostaa pöydälle jalkansa, jossa on jäljellä vain isovarvas.
Puuttuvien varpaiden arvoitus vie pariskunnan syvälle maan uumeniin, kylmän kiven ympäröimään pimeyteen.
Sarjakuvataiteilija Brocin ja kauhukirjailija Marko Hautalan yhteistyö kutsuu piinaavalle matkalle ihmismielen syvyyksiin.

Vesa Vitikainen: Isku Porkkalaan
1940-luvun lopulla sodat ovat ohi, mutta taistelu jatkuu.
Suomalainen yhteiskunta kokoaa itseään ja panostaa jälleenrakentamiseen. Neuvostokomennon alaisena olevalla Porkkalan alueella piilotellaan jotakin todella vaarallista, kenties atomipommia?
Marsalkka Mannerheim kokoaa kaikkien aikojen iskuryhmän, johon kuuluvat sotajermut Viljam “Rokka” Pylkäs, Aarne “Marokon kauhu” Juutilainen, Lauri Törni ja Simo Häyhä.
Neuvostoliitto ei arvosta asioihinsa puuttumista, käskyn käytyä turvallisuuspoliisi eli ns. Punainen Valpo lähtee tutkimaan Marskin ryhmän aikeita.
Mutta onko atomipommi sittenkään edes pahin paha, mikä Porkkalassa piilee?
Käsikirjoittaja Vesa Vitikaisella on laaja suomalaisen historian tuntemus.
Hän on sovittanut useiden legendaaristen suomalaisten sotasankarien elämäkerrat sarjakuviksi.
Kuvitteellista Isku Porkkalaan -seikkailutarinaa varten Vitikainen on koonnut todella kovan tekijäjoukon. Mukana ovat mm. Anssi Rauhala, Petri Hiltunen, Jouko Ruokosenmäki, Mauri Tuure ja Mikael Mäkinen.
Valérie Mangin & Steven Dupré: Saalistajien klubi 1 – Bogeyman
Lontoo, 1865.
Jack, nuori varas, näkee muiden köyhälistön lasten lailla jatkuvasti nälkää, kun rikkaat mässäilevät.
Puuvillatehtaalla raatavat lapset kammoavat tuntematonta murhaajaa Bogeymania, ja toivovat saavansa apua Elizabethilta, rikkaan kodin tyttäreltä.
He vaarantavat henkensä kielletyn ystävyyden takia, ja Bogeymanin hirvittävä salaisuus paljastuu…
Saalistajien klubi on uusi ranskalainen kaksiosainen kauhusarja.

Lontoo, 1865.
Saatuaan selville kammottavan totuuden Bogeymanistä ja Saalistajien klubista taistelevat varas Jack ja hienostoneiti Elizabeth voimattomuuttaan ja pelkoaan vastaan.
Pystyvätkö he pelastamaan Pollyn ja toiset köyhät lapset teurastajan veitseltä?
Suunnitelman muotoutuessa Jackillekin lankeaa osa syyllisyyden taakkaa Lontoon julmasta epäoikeudenmukaisuudesta.
Karmiva loppuratkaisu yllättää ja järkyttää…
Saalistajien klubi on uusi ranskalainen kaksiosainen kauhusarja. Juhla on tarinan jälkimmäinen osa.
Kristian Huitula: Lyhyesti – Kreivi Crapulan kauhukabinetti ja muita kertomuksia
Kristian Huitula on Suomen monipuolisimpia sarjakuvapiirtäjiä, joka tunnetaan mm. palkitun Kalevalan sarjakuvaversion tekijänä sekä Muumi-kuvittajana.
Tämä albumi sisältää harvinaisen koosteen Huitulan lyhyitä, pääosin ennenjulkaisemattomia sarjakuvia vuosilta 1995-2009.
Albumi tuokin ensimmäistä kertaa julkisuuteen tekijän sarjakuvatuotannon toisen, salatun puolen.
Sana makaaberi saa uudet ulottuvuudet Kreivi Crapulan kauhukabinetissa, eikä edes itse vihtahousu saa kärventyä rauhassa.
Mutta perimmäinen kysymys lienee se, kuinka hornan liekeissä ohukaiset paistetaan täydellisesti.
Henry on vatsastapuhuja jota menneisyys vainoaa.
Vaimon kuolema palaa toistuvina painajaisunina hänen mieleensä yhä uudelleen. Kuvitelmat ja todellisuus alkavat hiljalleen sekoittua toisiinsa Henryn yrittäessä päästä selvyyteen siitä mitä todella on tapahtunut.
Oliko vaimon kuolema sitä miltä näyttää? Entä kuka on salaperäinen Monica joka yllättäen ilmestyy Henryn elämään?
Ehkäpä totuuden tietää vain Osvald, Henryn puhuva nukke.
Mutta sehän on vain pelkkä nukke?
Kari A. Sihvonen & Aapo Rapi: Kuolleiden urheilijoiden seura
Kateus nostaa kuolleetkin haudoistaan!
Ankara piirikunnan mies Taisto Vastamäki hermostuu naapurin Veikon kettuiluun pokaaleista ja mitaleista. Taisto päättää herättää kuolleen urheiluseuran henkiin – kirjaimellisesti.
Jääkiekko on pyhä laji, josta suomalaista miestä ei kuolemakaan erota. Mitä siitä, että elävöitettyjen kuolleiden pelikuviot ovat hivenen kulmikkaita ja eläviä pelitovereita kauhistuttaa, kun kanssapelaajalta tipahtelee mailan ja suojusten lisäksi jäälle kaikenlaista muutakin.
Mutta viimeinen matsi otetaan kunnialla kotiin vaikka raaja kerrallaan, uhoaa kuolleen seuran puheenjohtaja Taisto!
Hirtehinen ja supisuomalainen zombiparodia Kuolleiden urheilijoiden seura on Aapo Rapin käsikirjoittama ja Kari A. Sihvosen sarjakuvaksi toteuttama.
Arktinen Banaani on aiemmin julkaissut Rapilta Metin, sympaattisen sukumuistelman, joka on sittemmin käännetty mm. ranskaksi.
Kari A. Sihvonen tunnetaan esimerkiksi Kapteeni Kangen siekailuista (Zum Teufel).
Kari A. Sihvonen & Aapo Rapi: Hiihtoa kryptasta
Urheilu on monille itse elämää tärkeämpi asia.
Hengen nostatus on johtanut Aapo Rapin ja Kari Sihvosen humoristisessa kauhusarjakuvassa siihen pisteeseen, etteivät talviurheilun veteraanit malta levätä edes haudassa.
Miten käy eläviltä kuolleilta mäkihyppy? Onko curling aivan päätön laji?
Keskustelu veridopingista jatkuu.
Kuolleiden urheilijoiden seuran ensimmäisessä osassa esiteltiin jääkiekkoilu uudessa valossa, nyt zombiet osoittavat taitonsa muissakin talviurheilulajeissa.
Käsikirjoittaja Aapo Rapi (s. 1977) ja piirtäjä Kari Sihvonen (s. 1980) pelaavat taas mainiosti yhteen. Molemmat ovat palkittuja, kansainvälisesti tunnettuja sarjakuvantekijöitä.

Vaara uhkaa, oi galaksien vaeltaja.
Myrskypilvet kerääntyvät horisontissa mystisen voiman lähestyessä kotiplaneettaamme.
Sukella syvälle kaaoksen värittämään tarinaan, jossa robottimainen pahuus kylvää pelkoa maapallolla!
Mars hyökkää! oli vain esimakua.
Maapallolla ihan kaikki kuulevat huutosi!
Syntax Terror on Kari A. Sihvosen (s. 1980) sanaton sarjakuvailoittelu, joka ammentaa innoituksensa vanhoista scifi- ja kauhusarjakuvista ja -elokuvista.
Mukana on 3D-lasit kolmiulotteisten sivujen katsomista varten. Kokeile ja ällisty!
Hannu Kesola & Jussi Piironen: Yö huutaa armoa
On vuosi 1972.
Murhaaja pitää länsi-italialaista kaupunkia kauhun vallassa. Joka aamu kaupungilta löytyy uusi viillelty naisen ruumis.
Kokenut etsivä, Claudio Morante, saa tutkittavakseen jutun, joka osoittautuu luultua hankalammaksi. Pystyykö hän pysäyttämään murhaajan ajoissa, kun…
…yö huutaa armoa?
Tämän italialaisille giallo-elokuville kunniaa tekevän albumin on käsikirjoittanut Hannu Kesola ja piirtänyt Jussi Piironen.
P. A. Mannisella on pakkomielteinen suhde historiaan ja piirtäessään hän kuuntelee historiallista musiikkia, suosikkeinaan sisällissotiin liittyvät laulut.
Tämä kokoelma lyhyitä sarjakuvia 30 vuoden ajalta kuvastelee tekijänsä kiinnostusta historiallisiin kummallisuuksiin. Tarinoissa on mukana kauhua ja fantasiaa.
Materiaalin joukossa on 14 ennen julkaisematonta sivua ja paljon kamaa niin hämäristä lehdistä, että niitä ei monikaan ymmärtänyt lukea aikoinaan.
Kumma historia on P. A. Mannisen koottujen kuudes osa.
Joensuun sarjakuvaseuran kymmenes julkaisu on matkalippusi aavelaivaan, tiesi pimeyteen, jonka syövereistä nousseet kaameudet vaanivat metsissä, huutavat nummilla ja tunkeutuvat ihosi alle niin, ettet ole tuholaistorjujan käynnin jälkeen enää entiselläsi.
Toivotamme sinulle hyvää matkaa yöhön. Älä eksy polulta.

“Joensuun sarjakuvaseuran albumissa tutut paikat ja tapahtumat saavat uusia merkityksiä.
Joensuu taipuu Joenzooksi ja Jon-suuksi, teksti paikoin karjalaksi. Kuvista voi aistia värähdykset.
Tapahtuuko kaupungissa jotain suurta? Niin suurta, että meistä tulee toisarvoinen kysymys ja toisen viulun soittajia?
Bradburyn Kuvitetun miehen yhdessä kertomuksessa kaupunkiin saapuu hyvä, älykäs, armelias ja loputtoman viisas tekopyhyyttä ja likaista politiikkaa vastustava Mies.
Hänen rinnallaan muiden saavutukset menettävät merkityksensä. Tuollainen mies lymyää pinnan alla ja joutuu antamaan tilaa zombiuttavalle pandemialle.
“Pinnan alla -kokoelman tarinat eivät pysähdy dystopiaan, vaan kuljettavat lukijan syvistä vesistä ja plasmasta ihmisten ilmoille. Ja tässä albumissa ”ihmisten ilmoille” saa uudenlaisen sisällön ja merkityksen. Siihen ja moneen muuhun yllättävään tulee Joensuun sarjakuvaseuran albumin lukija jälleen kerran törmäämään. Pidä mieli avoinna – tämä kokoelma voi vaikuttaa maailmankuvaasi!”

Juba: Naurava enkeli ja muita kauhutarinoita
Jussi ”Juba” Tuomola on ollut kauhusarjakuvafani lapsesta lähtien.
Tuolloin, 70-luvun puolivälissä, Suomessa koettiin kauhusarjakuvan lyhyt kulta-aika. Kauhulehtiä ilmestyi puolen tusinaa erilaista nimikettä, tärkeimpänä niistä Shokki.
Ensimmäiset omat kauhusarjansa Juba teki 80-luvun alussa Kaliforniassa, piirtäjäkavereiden innoittamina.
Suomessa hän tuli tunnetuksi Viivillä ja Wagnerilla, mutta kauhuinnostus ei ole koskaan kuollut.
Juban kauhutarinoita on aiemmin julkaistu satunnaisesti antologioissa, mm. amerikkalaisessa Taboossa.
Tämän kokoelman tarinat ovat muutamaa sivua lukuunottamatta uusia ja ennenjulkaisemattomia.

Wallace Wood: Verta ja väristyksiä
Wallace Wood (1927-1981) on yksi kaikkien aikojen taitavimmista ja arvostetuimmista sarjakuvataiteilijoista.
Woodilla oli suomalaiset sukujuuret, ja hän piirsi 40-luvun lopulta alkaen rikos-, kauhu- ja tieteissarjakuvia moniin eri julkaisuihin.
Wood tunnettiin huikean tarkasta viivasta sekä pistämättömän sujuvasta kuvakerronnasta.
Tähän kirjaan on koottu Woodin EC Comicsille luomia kauhu-, tieteis- ja sotasarjakuvia 1950-luvun alusta.
Tarinoiden ajatukset oikeudesta, väkivallasta ja syrjinnästä ovat tänä päivänä yhtä ajankohtaisia kuin ilmestymisaikanaan.

Ensimmäinen sieltä huippuarvosanoin valmistunut Addisonin suvun nuori perii sedän koko omaisuuden.
Mutta kartano onkin eriskummallinen opinahjo, jossa opettajakuntaan kuuluvat muun muassa zombi, kummitus ja ihmissusi.
Onneksi Romeolla on koulukaverinaan neuvokas Jillian-serkku, jota ei pari hirviöopea hetkauta. Yhdessä serkukset ryhtyvät selvittämään sukukartanon hurjia salaisuuksia…

Kun kartanon saloja tutkinut Jillian johdattaa Romeon Salaisten kasvojen käytävään, isoisoisoisosetä Augustus Albertin ja koko kummituskartanon karmiva menneisyys alkaa pikkuhiljaa paljastua…

Kuoleman kultteja keskilännessä, levottomia ruumiita ja vaaniva hulluus avaruuden rajoilla… Ihan tavallinen työpäivä siis!
Pakanat-sarjan historiafiktiosta paremmin tunnettu sarjakuvataiteilija Tuomas Myllylä on koonnut näiden kansien väliin tekemiään lyhyitä scifi- ja kauhutarinoita, tietysti ronskilla toiminnalla ja mustaakin mustemmalla huumorilla höystettynä.
Näissä tarinoissa yliluonnollinen astuu maan tasalle, ja tavallisia ovat sen kohtaavat ihmisetkin: oman alansa duunareita, olipa kyseessä sitten tähtienvälisten alusten hylkyjen tutkinta tai levottomien kuolleiden torjuntaan erikoistunut pariskunta.
Klassisten kiiltokuvien miessankarien sijaan aseen tai amuletin varteen tarttuukin useammin naisia, etnisten ja sukupuolivähemmistöjen edustajia sekä yksi musta kissa.
Kauheimmankin hirviön voi pysäyttää jos osaa oikeat loitsut tai sattuu vain kantamaan mukanaan riittävästi tulivoimaa!
Vedä siis syvään henkeä, poista varmistin ja astu Syvänteeseen!
Hautausmaalta löytyy pahoin raadeltu miehen ruumis.
Tutkiessaan tapausta rikosetsivä Michael Jörgensen törmää kauniiseen Marleneen, joka tuntuu liittyvän useampaankin salaperäiseen kuolemaan.
Mutta mikä on Marlenen salaisuus?
Jahtaako Jörgensen yliluonnollista tappajaa… vai onko hän kenties itse tappajan seuraava saalis?
Marlene on tanskalaisen Peter Snejbjergin kirjoittama ja kuvittama murhamysteeri, jossa arkipäivä ja yliluonnollinen kohtaavat kauhistuttavalla tavalla.
Snejbjergin vahva mustavalkokuvitus yhdistää saumattomasti brutaalit käänteet ja mustan huumorin.
Verihukka ja muita tarinoita kammokammiosta!
Karvojatörröttävää kauhua! Hui!
Ovatko kuukautisesi aina inhottaneet sinua? Et halua tietää, mitä tapahtuu jos ne äkisti loppuvatkin.
Mikä on pieni ja lonkeroinen ja asuu sinun naapurissasi?
Mitä olisit valmis tekemään kun zombiapokalypsi koittaa?
Kaikilla teoilla on seuraamukset.
Erittäin salainen tissimerenneitoseura kaivaa esiin hurjimmat ja hassuimmat tarinat kammokammion syövereistä.
Mukana Johanna Jasmine, Linda Sofia, Julia Järvelä, Eve Kajander, Saana Renvall ja Sara Honkanen.
Kansi: Jupe Parkkonen.
Jossakin lännessä on kivinen saari. Ennen niin menestynyt yhteisö on kuihtunut, asukkaat ovat muuttaneet mantereelle ja tuotantolaitosten koneet on siirretty Kiinaan.
Kun kaikki muut lähtivät, hän jäi. Nyt hän autoilee yksin kotisaarensa pimeitä teitä ja uneksii Las Vegasin kirkkaista valoista. Matkalla nopeasti ei minnekään. Mutta tänään hänen elämänsä muuttuu.
Saari on heräämässä.
Tuhansia vuosia vanhat myytit ja legendat kurkottavat kyntensä nykypäivään ja repivät päähenkilön mukaansa.
Kivet ja juuret janoavat verta.
Minä olen saari on sekoitus rikoskertomusta ja pakanallista kauhua, realistinen kuvaus yhden ihmisen syöksykierteestä.
Se on tarina yhteiskunnan reunalta, missä epätoivoiset ihmiset sortuvat epätoivoisiin tekoihin.
It came from the desert eli kauhua merten takaa ja alta!

Celine Loup: The Man Who Came Down the Attic Stairs
After moving into a new home and giving birth to her first child, a woman worries that a supernatural force is haunting her child’s nursery, and has corrupted her husband into a creature intent on harming them both.
Emma is excited to start a family in her new home, but after her child’s birth she finds her world turning upside-down.
The infant cries like it’s scared of something, or someone, and Emma’s sleepless nights quickly drive a wedge between her and her husband, who seems uncharacteristically detached.
When Emma begins to see strange things in the house, the line between reality and fantasy blurs and her grasp of what’s real and what’s not becomes even more clouded.
Is something unnatural haunting the nursery? And what if it also affected her husband, who ventured up into the attic when they first arrived…
Inspired by the works of Shirley Jackson and Ira Levin, Celine Loup’s The Man Who Came Down the Attic Stairs weaves a tale of horror and suspense that captures the isolation of postpartum depression, while exploring the very real fears associated with new motherhood.
Basil Wolverton: Brain Bats of Venus
The peak period of a producer of preposterous pictures.
Basil Wolverton was a commercial oddity, a one-man art factory who sidestepped conventional virtuosity by forging a highly personal and intricate approach to black-and-white graphics, linked to an intense, often disturbing, imagination and sense of humor. He created an impressive body of work, and Brain Bats of Venus represents Wolverton during his most prolific decade.
In 1946, Wolverton attained national prominence by creating the winning image of Lena the Hyena, “the ugliest woman in all creation,” for Al Capp’s hit comic strip, Li’l Abner.
Wolverton’s Lena was unveiled in nearly 400 newspapers, and prominently featured in Life Magazine.
This exposure led to his most successful period as a working cartoonist.
The volume continues Sadowski’s biography, which includes scores of letters between Wolverton and his editors and publishers and excerpts from his personal diaries, providing documentary insight not only into Wolverton’s day-to-day life and career, but also the inner workings of the early comic book industry.
Brain Bats is also chock full of Wolverton’s comics stories from this period, including 17 science-fiction and horror tales fully restored and never before collected in a single volume.

There is a rumor that the caves and gold are protected by terrifying witches that have been living in the cave system for thousands of years.

John Kenn Mortensen & Benni Bødker: A Christmas Bestiary
A tongue-in-cheek guide to the beasts to watch out for during a cozy Christmastime.
In the wintry season, when we all delight in joyful thoughts of family, presents, and sugarplums, we mustn’t forget that the night is dark and full of terrors.
Thankfully, bold adventurers Benni Bodker and John Kenn Mortensen have journeyed far and wide to comb through ancient tomes, listen to folk tales, and spy upon loathsome lairs to catalog the most frightful creatures of the netherworld that appear around Christmastime.
A Christmas Bestiary is an essential guidebook to all the horrors that await us during the darkest time of the year, from common creatures such as Baba Yaga and the Krampus to the less encountered (but quite deadly) Yule Wight and Gryla.
Bodker’s brief text entries include the lore and background of each creature, plus handy info such as danger level that will help you survive (but no guarantees!).
Mortensen’s gothic, pen-and-ink renderings bring these bone-chilling beasts to life on the page.
Eerie, playful, and practical, A Christmas Bestiary is the perfect collection for the ones who love ―or fear― the things that go bump in the night.

Alan Moore & Jacen Burrows: Neonomicon
Comic book legend Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, FROM HELL) and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror!
Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax -the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison.
From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful… but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth.
NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore’s 2010 comic book series for the first time in its entirety – including his original story, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax’s tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones!

Bram Stoker & Al McWilliams: Dracula – The Original Graphic Novel
Dracula –both the legendary blood-thirsty vampire and his historic inspiration, Vlad The Impaler– has terrified and fascinated the world via a myriad of films and books ever since Bram Stoker’s original 1897 novel.
Tales of the vampiric Prince of Darkness have been adapted to every format including a number of graphic novels.
But just as Stoker’s 1897 novel ever holds its historic place, so too does the original Dracula graphic novel.
The premier, 1966 graphic adaptation of Stoker’s classic was edited and packaged as a paperback by legendary Creepy magazine founding editor, Russ Unca’ Creepy Jones.
Creepy launched as a full-sized, uncensored black and white horror comics magazine in 1964.
It ran, most-famously adorned with covers by Frank Frazetta, for near 300 issues over two decades, spawning a tsunami of imitators and competing horror magazine lines including from Marvel.
From 2008-2019 Dark Horse released a complete library of Creepy Archives hardcovers which often made the New York Times bestseller list.
After leaving Creepy magazine, for the landmark Dracula graphic novel, Jones enlisted Supergirl co-creator/writer Otto Binder and Star Trek, Twin Earths and Creepy artist Alden McWilliams to adapt Stoker’s novel. Legendary Dracula actor, Christopher Lee even provides an Introduction!
For Halloween 2021, Vanguard has enlarged, revised, and expanded, this historic but long-out-of print classic in a luxurious hardcover edition with a new historic essay by How To Draw Chiller Monsters author, J. David Spurlock, examples of historically related art by Neal Adams, Gene Colan and a new cover by the most celebrated Creepy artist of all, Frank Frazetta.

Richard Sala: The Chuckling Whatsit
Sala weaves the gothic cartooning traditions of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams with a melodramatic murder mystery involving astrology, ghouls, academia, and outsider art.
Part noir, part horror, and part comedy, this labyrinthine tale of intrigue follows an unemployed writer named Broom who becomes ensnared unwittingly in a complex plot involving mysterious outsider artist Emile Jarnac, the shadowy machinations of the Ghoul Appreciation Society Headquarters (GASH), and the enigmatic Mr. Ixnay.
Sala’s deadpan delivery makes this ingeniously layered narrative a roller-coaster ride of darkly pure comic suspense.
Sala’s drawing style also reveals the influence of everything from Hollywood monster movies and Dick Tracy to German expressionism and Grimm’s fairy tales.
It’s a style that’s perfectly suited to the narrative, constantly flirting with Sala’s fascination for the grotesque and lending palpable tension to the gruesome riddle of The Chuckling Whatsit.

Antoine Maillard: Slash Them All
A tranquil seaside town is upended by the arrival of a serial killer.
2022 WINNER for Best Crime Graphic Novel at the Angouleme International Comics Festival
Two high school students are found dead, stoking fears amongst the student body and surrounding community of a serial killer on the loose.
Yet summer is approaching, and the future is fraught with uncertainty―if only things could go back to normal for just a while longer.
Instead, the heightened police presence prevents Pola from dealing at school while her best friend, the typically discreet Daniel, resists increasingly morbid impulses.
News crews speculate about the Bloody Batter, triggering PTSD and fueling paranoia.
Meanwhile, evil has its own plans.
Slash Them All is cartoonist Antoine Maillard’s tribute to 1980s American horror cinema, skillfully absorbing the traditions and tropes of the genre, yet drawn in a gorgeous, grayscale pencil style that evokes 1950s film noir more than Jason or Freddy Kreuger.
This singular work of graphic fiction is a story about adolescents thrust unexpectedly, unwillingly, and unpreparedly into adulthood, told with a graphic acuity and emotional depth that transcends its simple slasher inspirations.

A dazzling work of horror, intercutting between the present day and the story of a lost film.
Horror masters Scott Snyder (American Vampire, Wytches) and Francesco Francavilla (Afterlife with Archie) collaborate for the first time!
This graphic novel is a bold and bloody reimagining of horror monsters that celebrates classic creature features, while creating an unsettling and contemporary new kind of horror story.
It was said to be the greatest horror movie in cinematic history.
Shot in 1936, “Night of the Ghoul” by writer/director T.F. Merritt was meant to sit beside “Frankenstein” and “Dracula” as an instant classic…But the legendary film never made it to the silver screen.
Just before editing was finished, a mysterious studio fire destroyed the footage and killed the cast and crew celebrating at wrap-party.
Rumors of the doomed film’s greatness persist to this day, but no footage from it was ever recovered…until now.
Forest Inman is a horror film obsessive who digitizes old films for the famed Aurora movie studio.
When Forest stumbles across a seemingly forgotten canister of footage, he just might have discovered the remnants of the lost classic “Night of the Ghoul.”
This discovery sends Forest on a dark odyssey to the California desert, where he’s warned by a mysterious old man that the film’s ghoul is far more than a work of fiction: it’s a very real monster who plans to kill him.

And Walter’s always been a little…off.
But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter’s invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake.
It’s beautiful, it’s opulent, it’s private–so a week of putting up with Walter’s weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not?
All of them were at that moment in their lives when they could feel themselves pulling away from their other friends; wouldn’t a chance to reconnect be…nice?
In The Nice House on the Lake, the overriding anxieties of the 21st century get a terrifying new face–and it might just be the face of the person you once trusted most.
