At the San Diego Comic-Con, DSTLRY pulled back the curtain to announce the upcoming release of Come Find Me: An Autumnal Offering, a new folk-horror tale curated by co-creator Becky Cloonan.
E.M. Carroll, HamletMachine, Vanesa R. Del Rey, Celine Loup, Molly Mendoza, and Cloonan team for this horror on-shot scheduled to arrive in October 2024.
“Just like Somna allowed me to collaborate with Tula Lotay and create something subversive and unexpected, I wanted to cultivate that same feel with COME FIND ME. From a place of selfishness, these are my favorite voices in horror comics and uniting them has been a nightmare come true,” said DSTLRY Founding Creator Becky Cloonan in a press release. “Much like my first contribution in DSTLRY’s one-shot, The Devil’s Cut, you may just see some of these stories set the stage for larger projects.”
Within COME FIND ME, Cloonan unearths a corpse with two coins laid over its decaying eyes. When an opportunistic thief robs the cadaver of its last possessions, a sinister curse erupts, dooming all it touches. HamletMachine presents a chilling tale of a musical demon who makes Faustian pacts with unsuspecting victims, creating a minor-key symphony of human pain. Carroll, Mendoza, and Del Rey similarly reach deep into naturalistic romance and dread for one of the most chillingly beautiful descents into folk horror.
Somna: A Bedtime Story by Cloonan and Tula Lotay recently won an Eisner for Best New Series.
