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.
