IDW Publishing announced that Patrick Horvath is back with Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #1, the follow-up mini-series about a brown bear with a bloodlust.
BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING #1 (of 6) takes place almost a decade after the stunning and blood-spattered events of the first hit series. Return to the seemingly idealistic suburban town of Woodbrook as Samantha, the bloodlusting brown bear, got away with her crimes and is now the town’s one and only serial killer. But times have changed, and Samantha will soon discover there are no secrets in the age of the internet… and those who lost loved ones to her dark temptations are still searching for justice. Plus, Samantha’s sinister origin story is revealed as the sequel revisits what happened after her very first kill.
“I’m supremely excited to return to the quaint town of Woodbrook to continue the story of our psychopath bear, Samantha Strong,” remarked Horvath in a press release from IDW Publishing. “I continue to be blown away by the response to the first book. In my wildest dreams I never thought it would have caught such a huge wave that spread out to other countries and languages. BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES continues to be a huge gift to me, and I’m grateful for all of the immense support from IDW, the retailers, critics, and fans.”
Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #1 (of 6) arrives on July 9, 2025.
