The Rot

In David C. Hayes and Sean Seal's The Rot (2015–2018), a three-issue horror series from Source Point Press, a mysterious, spreading decay begins to consume a small town from the inside out, affecting both the land and its people in increasingly grotesque ways. The story follows a handful of residents as they confront the unsettling transformation of their community, blending body horror with a creeping sense of dread. Hayes' stark, character-driven writing pairs with Seal's visceral, shadow-drenched artwork to create a compact but potent nightmare. This short run stands as a focused, independent horror entry that lingers in the mind long after the final page.
