Something Is Killing the Children

In a small, isolated town, children are vanishing—and those who return speak only of a monster no one else can see. James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera's horror series for Boom! Studios follows a mysterious stranger, Erica Slaughter, who arrives to hunt the creature that feeds on the town's youth. Since its 2020 debut, the book has become a modern horror touchstone, blending visceral terror with a deep sense of empathy for its young victims. Its taut, nine-issue arcs have built a chilling mythology that keeps readers hooked.
