It’s time to feed your fears.

Prepare for a full spread of all-new horrors from the darkest hearts in comics! 

In the fifth volume of the acclaimed horror anthology Hello Darkness, an unspeakable hunger awakens in “The Pothole” by Tyler Crook, while Zack Kaplan and Dennis Menheere explore a crime that memory itself refuses to bury in “Recollect.” Horror takes the field as Sam Humphries and Eleonora Carlini unleash the demonic baseball epic “Cassie,” while reality fractures in Rocky OBK’s haunting, liminal tale “Sauna 24.” 

With stories to satisfy even the most nightmarish of appetites by today’s top creators, including Dennis Menheere, Tate Brombal, Piotr Kowalski, Jorge Corona, Lauren Knight, and more.
