Inhaltsangabe

Phenomenon, conspiracy, or delusion? “Kelvin” Melvin Reyes was only three years old when Spontaneous Human Combustion took his father from him. He’s since devoted his life to exploring the mystery behind the phenomenon, searching for a pattern and predictors that he might save others from that same fiery fate. But the closer he gets to his goal, the further things lead down a well of secrets, horrors, and terrible truths. Is SHC real? And if so, can it be stopped?

What follows is a supernatural trip down a suburban rabbit hole as Melvin’s quest to honor his father’s memory unlocks the mysteries of his town’s dark past and his own family secrets. From acclaimed writer and filmmaker Joe Harris (Ghost Projekt, The X-Files) comes a slow-burn horror thriller of obsession, belief, and restitution.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

As a young creator at Marvel Comics, Joe launched the cult-classic Spider-Man spinoff series, Slingers, and wrote myriad other titles including Bishop: The Last X-Man. He has written for all major comics publishers and franchises including X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman, and others. 

He conceived and co-wrote the screenplay for the hit Sony Pictures film Darkness Falls and the politically themed slasher movie The Tripper before returning to comics and launching creator-owned properties that brought his experiences in publishing and moviemaking together. 

His supernatural title Ghost Projekt was published by Oni Press. Called the “Best Miniseries” of 2010 by Wizard and lauded by Ain’t It Cool News as “one of the finest” of the year, the tense tale of ghosts, gambits, and Cold War-era secrets was adapted for television by SyFy.

Eisner-nominated painter Brett Weldele has covered a wide range of genres with his work, including crime, science fiction, and superheroes, and he has worked with Marvel, Top Shelf, Oni Press, Image, Graphitti Designs, Boom Studios, AiT, Devil’s Due, and Zenescope. Projects have included the movie tie-ins Southland Tales: The Prequel Saga and Se7en: Wrath; as well as the bestselling graphic novel for Top Shelf, The Surrogates, adapted into a major motion picture from Touchstone Films starring Bruce Willis, and its follow up, The Surrogates: Flesh and Bone. Recent releases The Light and Spontaneous continue to showcase Weldele’s love of atmosphere. Weldele lives in Oregon and spends his free time making experimental music.
