Supernatural Thriller for Horror Fans

A bold and bloody reimagining of horror monsters that celebrates classic creature features, while creating an unsettling and contemporary new kind of horror story – this is the dazzling work of horror, intercutting between the present day and the story of a lost film, as horror masters Scott Snyder (American Vampire, Wytches) and Francesco Francavilla (Afterlife with Archie) collaborate for the first time.

The legendary film "Night of the Ghoul" by writer/director T.F. Merritt, shot in 1936, was meant to sit beside "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" as an instant classic. However, the film never made it to the silver screen, as a mysterious studio fire destroyed the footage and killed the cast and crew celebrating at the wrap-party, just before editing was finished. Rumors of the doomed film's greatness persist to this day, but no footage was ever recovered... until now.

Horror film obsessive Forest Inman, who digitizes old films for the famed Aurora movie studio, stumbles across a seemingly forgotten canister of old footage. Thinking he has found the legendary unreleased "Night of the Ghoul," Forest sets off on a dark odyssey to the California desert, where he's warned by a mysterious old man that the film's ghoul is far more than a work of fiction: it's a very real monster who plans to kill him.

This graphic novel collects Night of the Ghoul #1–#3 (originally published by Comixology and republished as single issues by Dark Horse). It is a bold and bloody reimagining of horror monsters that celebrates classic creature features, while creating an unsettling and contemporary new kind of horror story.

The dazzling work of horror, intercutting between the present day and the story of a lost film, is the result of the first-time collaboration between horror masters Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla. This graphic novel promises to captivate readers with its exploration of the legendary lost film "Night of the Ghoul," and the terrifying discovery that the ghoul is more than just a fictional creature.
