Comic creator Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Realm), will present a collection of 28 horror tales in Haunthology. The short stories and vignettes open with an introduction by Shirley Jackson Award winning author Nathan Ballingrud. Image Comics will release the horror anthology in May 2023.

Haunthology explores subjects like a claustrophobic old house filled with dangerous entities and the serious thoughts someone might have at the end of the world. All of the stories were written and drawn during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns.

“All of our lives changed in 2020. More than we could ever imagine,” Haun said. “My way of dealing with all of that, as much as possible, was taking all of the things we were all dealing with – confusion, loneliness, fear, and anger – and then telling weird little horror stories about them. I’ve always loved short stories. I’m just fascinated by what writers like Laird Barron, Nathan Ballingrud, Clive Barker, Joe Hill, and Stephen King do with prose. There are a lot of anthologies in comics. I wanted to do a true short story collection. Haunthology is a love letter to that.”

The Haunthology trade paperback will be in comic shops on Wednesday, May 3, 2022.
