Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips team once again for their upcoming original graphic novel, Houses of the Unholy.
In the new original graphic novel from Image Comics, Brubaker and Phillips explore the life of an FBI agent from the cult crimes division and a woman with a past linked to the Satanic Panic who are inexplicably brought together to track a killer with ties to cult activity.
Brubaker said “Houses of the Unholy is something I’ve been describing as Satanic Panic Noir. It’s somewhere in-between a creepy horror story and a f*cked-up noir, and directly tied to the Satanic Panic craze of the ’80s. The book really speaks to my obsessions with cult horror, and plays with the demonic tropes of classic horror from Hammer to Carpenter to Stephen King. The fear that was everywhere back then has clearly resurfaced, and that made me want to dive back into those dark waters and try to find a Brubaker-Phillips take on noir and horror at the same time.”
