The Nice House on the Lake

The Nice House on the Lake, a 2024 series from Dark Dragon Books, opens a taut, two-issue mystery in which a group of friends is invited to a secluded lakeside retreat, only to discover their host has trapped them there with no way out. Written and illustrated by a single creative team, this compact horror-thriller uses its limited run to build claustrophobic tension and question how well we truly know the people we trust. It matters as a lean, focused example of modern suspense comics, proving that a short, controlled story can deliver a punchy, unsettling experience.
