Storm King Comics announces Usher Down, the latest volume in the popular anthology series John Carpenter’s Night Terrors, a chilling ghost story set in perhaps history’s most fabled haunted house.
Written by Alex Van Helsing author Jason Henderson and illustrated by artist Greg Scott (Gotham Central, X-Files, Black Hood), with colors by Felipe Sobreiro and letters by Eisner and Harvey nominated letterer Ed Dukeshire, Usher Down kicks off the 2023 slate of the John Carpenter’s Night Terrors imprint. The release coincides with the 10th-anniversary celebration of Storm King Comics, the first comic book publishing company to be founded by a woman, producing legend Sandy King Carpenter, with multiple activations planned at this year’s Comic-Con International.
“Here’s the thing. Usher Down isn’t a haunted house story– it’s a haunted house expedition story like the ones Greg Scott and I are obsessed with, like The Haunting, Rose Red, and The Legend of Hell House,” says writer Jason Henderson. “When you have a house that everyone holds in awe, and you put together an expedition, anything can happen. That’s the stuff, that’s what we wanted to make, and Storm King made that vision a reality.”
A young psychic joins a government expedition to explore the most legendary haunted house of all time, the fabled House of Usher. The place is confirmed, frozen in time below ground-but. What the explorers find there is demonic, alive, and may well have called them for its dark purposes. Writer Jason Henderson, artist Greg Scott, and colorist Felipe Sobreiro take you underground in Usher Down, the seventh story in Storm King Comics’ anthology series, John Carpenter’s Night Terrors.
Usher Down will be available on July 12, 2023 in comic shops and digitally online through GlobalComix. Copies will ship from Amazon, and become available in bookstores on July 25 . For more information, please visit https://stormkingcomics.com/.
