Storm King Comics announced Steve Niles and Trevor Denham have teamed for The Killing Hole, a new horror comic arriving in July 2024.
THE KILLING HOLE flashes back to 1979. That’s when 14-year-old loner Stewart crosses paths with newly arrived and equally alienated Peter. In their shared disdain for school and mutual love of edgy music, the boys form a fast friendship, allowing them both to escape their suffocating, dead-end home lives. Endlessly tormented by bullies, the two boys find solace and encouragement in their friendship—even if the adults around them disapprove.
As the two boys grow closer, they build a safe space together—an underground bunker where they can be themselves. But that space turns substantially less safe as their friendship and fantasies take turns at first dark and then deadly.
Rooted in the pre-technology days of the late 1970s, THE KILLING HOLE offers a dark and disturbing exploration of the suburban idyll often presented in popular culture, digging deep into the darkest territory of teenage angst.
The Killing Hole is a 96-page comic that arrives on July 23, 2024, and will have a cover price of $17.99.
