A young thief marked by an ancient witch bloodline becomes prey in this Nordic noir folk-horror graphic novel, as mercenaries hunt her across a frozen Scandinavia for her magic.
Alva makes her living on the margins, running break-ins with her small-time crew and keeping her head down. But when a late-night burglary uncovers an ancient witch imprisoned behind a steel door, her life spirals into a supernatural thriller. Forced to flee across the frozen north with her friend Mini, Alva becomes the target of the Craftsmen, a secretive order obsessed with hunting the magical Aldinn tribes.
As their world closes in, Alva discovers she isn’t just another thief: she carries the blood of the Fell, a near-extinct people with abilities the Craftsmen will do anything to control. To survive, Alva must decide who she can trust, uncover the truth about her mysterious origins, and navigate a violent, shifting landscape where humans and monsters are not so easily told apart.
This fresh take on witchcraft is the first graphic novel of the planned Scandi-noir horror trilogy from creators Aksel Sudsgarth and Daniel Hansen. Fans of European comics, supernatural thrillers, and richly imagined mythologies will be enchanted by this contemporary dark fantasy.

There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth. And some men sacrifice their humanity to attain it.
From Spanish writer and artist Enrique Corominas comes a stunningly illustrated adaptation of the legendary classic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
How easy it is for innocence to be corrupted. This is the crux of the story of Dorian Gray, a young handsome man from London who gets seduced by the hedonism of the upper class and the ultra-wealthy.
When eccentric artist Basil Hallward paints Dorian Gray, Basil and his wealthy friends are encapsulated with his beauty. Lord Wotton, a hedonistic aristocrat and one of Basil’s friends, introduces Dorian to a life of luxury and debauchery. A life without consequence.
But realizing that his fleeting beauty is the only reason for his inclusion, Dorian Gray sells his soul and attains eternal youth, however the famed portrait now ages, injures and damages. But how far can a man go without his humanity?
Set in Victorian England, this classic tale on corruption and consequence stuns with beautifully elegant artwork by Enrique Corominas.

From Aurora Award–winning creator Norm Konyu comes a graphic novel that dares to make the Master of the Macabre smile.
A darkly playful walk through the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, where humour, dread, and beauty collide this Halloween.
When theatrical producer Thomas Evans meets his old friend Edgar Allan Poe in a gloomy tavern, he has a mission: to pull Poe back from the abyss, if only for one evening. As skulls crowd the table and death-haunted ideas spill forth, Thomas counters Poe’s macabre obsessions with verse, wit, and impossible hope… urging him to imagine a life beyond despair.
This graphic novel delights with wondrous art, each sumptuous double-page spread reinterprets a classic Poe tale (The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of the Red Death, and more) twisting familiar symbols into something both reverent and slyly subversive. The result is a work steeped in dread and humour, rich with atmosphere, shivers, and visual invention.
The book concludes with an insightful postscript in which Aurora-Award winner Norm Konyu unpacks each literary reference and reflects on Poe’s lasting influence on his own work and modern horror. Perfect for Halloween and beyond, Edgar Allan Poe is a love letter to the weird, the macabre, and the stories that refuse to let us go.

Hearts will pound in this ferocious, neo-noir nightmare where a fugitive and a cult hunter fight to survive one savage night of feral mythology and blood-soaked betrayal.
Tommy Blackfoot thought prison was the worst place he’d ever been – until the night he walked free. Reunited with June, the woman he’s been writing to for years, Tommy hopes for a fresh start. But the past has been waiting for him. The Children of Hati, a violent cult-like gang he once escaped, descend on the remote motel where the pair meet, determined to drag Tommy back into their brutal fold… or bury him for good.
As night falls, waves of berserk, wolf-obsessed zealots close in, and June reveals she’s far more than a romantic pen pal. What begins as a reunion becomes a relentless battle for survival – one filled with savage fights, occult conspiracies, and the consequences of a life lived on the run.
A blood-pounding crime-horror hybrid, Moon Eaters delivers pulp action at its most visceral.
