Written by Joe Hill and illustrated with haunting detail by Gabriel Rodriguez, this first issue sets a chilling tone with its blend of family grief and supernatural mystery, all rendered in striking art and moody colors by Jay Fotos and lettered by Robbie Robbins. The cover, also by Gabriel Rodriguez, captures the unsettling atmosphere of the house and its secrets.
