Come Find Me unites six creators including E.M. Carroll (A Guest in the House), HamletMachine (Lucifer’s Garden), Vanesa R. Del Rey (Scarlet Witch, Redlands), Céline Loup (The Man Who Came Downthe Attic Stairs), and Molly Mendoza (Skip, Stray). COME FIND ME will debut in late October, setting the stage for a season of bonfires and falling leaves.
“Just like Somna allowed me to collaborate with Tula Lotay and create something subversive and unexpected, I wanted to cultivate that same feel with COME FIND ME. From a place of selfishness, these are my favorite voices in horror comics and uniting them has been a nightmare come true,” said DSTLRY Founding Creator Becky Cloonan. “Much like my first contribution in DSTLRY’s one-shot, The Devil’s Cut, you may just see some of these stories set the stage for larger projects.”
Within COME FIND ME, Cloonan unearths a corpse with two coins laid over its decaying eyes. When an opportunistic thief robs the cadaver of its last possessions, a sinister curse erupts, dooming all it touches. HamletMachine presents a chilling tale of a musical demon who makes Faustian pacts with unsuspecting victims, creating a minor-key symphony of human pain. Carroll, Mendoza, and Del Rey similarly reach deep into naturalistic romance and dread for one of the most chillingly beautiful descents into folk horror.
“Following on the huge success of Somna, Becky is at it again with the sexy horror stories! It’s a testament to her stature in this business that she’s managed to assemble such a stellar lineup of established and emerging talent, and I feel very blessed that she’s asked me to be a part of it,” explained Founding Editor Will Dennis. “It’s going to be an amazing book!”
COME FIND MEalso offers a first look into the world of Cloonan’s next DSTLRY series, making this volume a perfect collector’s item. The one-shot is available for pre-order today via DSTRLY’s exclusive distribution deal with Diamond Comic Distributors and will hit shelves in local comic shops and digitally via
www.dstlry.co this October.
“COME FIND ME isa landmark event in modern horror comics. Becky Cloonan and the creators she’s united have crafted a one-shot that is as thought-provoking as it is terrifying,” said DSTLRY co-founders Chip Mosher and David Steinberger in a joint statement. “This collection exemplifies DSTLRY’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of storytelling and offering readers unique, high-quality content.”
COME FIND ME is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. “It’s the DSTLRY difference,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher.
This announcement follows the success of Cloonan’s sold-out modern erotic horror masterpiece with Tula Lotay, Somna.
