A new collection of terrifying tales from the pages of Hello Darkness.

Descend deeper into the darkness… but WATCH OUT! It’s even more of the most frightening stories by today’s top horror storytellers!


The hot sun beats down on the desert, but when night falls, what lies waiting in the dust for an unsuspecting cowpoke?

In a cabin after the end of the world, is the promise of company a comfort or a curse?

When Something is Killing the Children, Erica Slaughter must piece together the events of many a story to tell what is real.

From the past to the future to the uncomfortably now, Hello Darkness taps into our fears both primal and present!

Featuring "The War" parts 5-7 by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Becky Cloonan (Wonder Woman, Somna); "SIKTC: A Monster Hunter Walks into a Bar" parts 3 and 4 from the Eisner Award-winning team of James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera (Something is Killing the Children); "The Search" by Sarah Andersen (Fangs), "The Christmas Log" by Steve Orlando and Adam Gorham, and many more!
