About the series
In this eight-issue horror series from Vault, writer Daniel Kraus and artist Chris Shehan craft a taut, atmospheric tale of a mother and daughter who move to a small New England town, only to uncover a deeply unsettling seasonal tradition. The story unfolds with a creeping dread that builds across its 2020–2021 run, leaning on Shehan's moody, textured artwork to evoke both the beauty and menace of autumn. A quietly effective modern horror comic, The Autumnal earned a reputation for its grounded character work and slow-burn tension.
