"HOUSES AREN'T THE ONLY THING THAT ARE HAUNTED. . . . This spring, architect of terror Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman, In Bloom) and 2024 Ringo Award-winner Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound) begin a deep and disturbing excursion into 21st century-horror with a new kind of tale that will rebuild the four walls of the American ghost story from the foundation up . . .

    I wasn't really sure what I was getting into at first other than a good ghost story. What I found was something so much more intriguing.

This team has a hit on their hands and I can't wait to see more and hear your thoughts as the reader! Read Full Review

    Despite everything that Plague House #1 manages to do in 21 pages of strict story, the issue also teases the mysterious past of Del, his history with ghosts, and how these encounters informed his current comprehension of the subject. Theres enough there to entice the readers curiosity. The first issue of Plague House rushes through all the main tropes of the genre, from eerie mirror reflections to objects that move by themselves. Still, it ends with the revelation that things are not like they seem, and the truth can only be found after the most trodden path has been traveled. The final page brings the tantalizing promise of shattered expectations that will undoubtedly come in the following issues. All in all, Plague House #1 is a strong first issue, well worthy of the attention of horror aficionados. Read Full Review

    I thought it was super interesting until the last page. Not saying it ruined everything, but it went in a direction I'm not sure about. I'm willing to stay and see though.

    Like the story the writing and dialogue but the art isn’t my cup of tea.. although the gruesomeness of it was done really well.
    Creepy book.
