Dark Horse Comics announced it has teamed with Second Sight Publishing for Shook! Songs of the Dark Sirens, a new horror anthology arriving just in time for Halloween.
“In summary, horror told from the perspective of women and in particular Black women, holds significant importance,” confides anthology author Colleen Douglas. “Because therein lies its ability to offer diverse perspectives, engage with social issues, provide authentic cultural representation, empower audiences, and contribute to the overall growth and inclusivity of the horror genre.”
In Pegana Rim of the Worlds (written by Colleen Douglas, art by Luis Czerniawski, colors by Andrea Messi, and letters by Bernardo Brice), Richard, an antiquarian, is fond of books and eldritch knowledge. His current obsession is a tome on loan from the Ubersee Museum, Pegana Rim of the Worlds. What an opportunity for a good read, but something is wrong; recently, his home has been overrun by insects, not the kind he’s seen before, and they seem almost sentient.
This anthology features a cast of award-winning creators, featuring women of color, including Alitha Martinez, Shakealia “Shake MacAudacious” Finley, Tananarive Due, Micheline Hess, Raeghan Buchanan, and Colleen Douglas. The art of Kimbrea Whaley is showcased on the iconic Shook! Cover.
Shook! Songs of the Dark Sirens arrives on October 28, 2025, with a cover price of $24.99.
