Hello Darkness Series

No rest for the wicked!

Hello Darkness is back for another collection of mind-bending horror. If you were still thinking of getting a good night’s rest this month, kiss those ZZZ’s goodbye!

It’s the bottom of the ninth level of hell in “Cassie, Part III,” the final inning of Sam Humphries and Eleonora Carlini’s all-satanic-girl baseball smash hit.

In “Away Message,” Jorge Corona (Transformers) takes a man who just wanted to get away from it all to the edge of his own private apocalypse.

And “The Thread” by Lauren Knight, in which a simple act of personal grooming takes a turn so gruesome you’ll skip lunch for the next week.

Stop and smell the corpses!

The horrors of winter are behind us, but a sinister new season awaits… HELLO DARKNESS returns this spring with a fresh bouquet of horror!

In “Freshly Maid,” a mousy young housekeeper comes face to face with a deathless evil. Vibrant visionary Paulina Ganucheau (Lemon Bird: Can Help!, She-Ra: Legend of the Fire Princess) delivers a chilling tale of innocence undone where the mess lurking in the shadows isn’t something you can simply sweep away.

In “Imposter Syndrome,” a hapless suburbanite cascading into paranoia and mutilation. Innovative creators Tate Brombal (Black Hammer, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos) and Piotr Kowalski (Deadbox) team up for a 9-panel grid of terror!

In “Cassie, Part II,” an all-girls softball team heads to the second inning with the forces of hell…and the bases are loaded! From the minds of Sam Humphries (The Legendary Star-Lord, Our Love Is Real) and Eleonora Carlini, every pitch turns into a plot twist.

Join today’s top horror storytellers as they dive into the darkest corners of humanity!

Fall into an all-new season of horror!

In a chilling story by Jude Ellison S. Doyle and Rocky OBK, the once-idyllic town of “Abadon” becomes a home to an unknown terror. A long-dormant protector rises in “Reconquista” by RAD to vengefully interrupt a celebration built on stolen land.
