Things Heard & Seen meets Deathnote in this dark, romantic haunted house horror tale "Sparse dialogue allows Corona's moody art to shape the story, with angular figures akin to those found in Jeff Lemire's work, a truly unsettling monster, and evocative use of cool and warm light effects. Fans of adult-oriented spooky tales without overly complicated mythologies will enjoy this disturbing outing." --
Publishers Weekly Writer Skottie Young (
I Hate Fairyland, Fortunately, the Milk, Deadpool, Strange Academy) and artist Jorge Corona (
Feathers) follow up their critically acclaimed, Eisner Award nominated series
Middlewest with a brand new haunting tale.
An artist named Ro retreats from the grind of the city to an old house in a small town to find solace and inspiration without realizing the muse she finds within is not what she expected. Fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman will enjoy this beautiful, dark and disturbing story of discovery, love and terror.
