In just two week’s time Oni Press will debut the first issue of Estuary: A Ghost Story, a chilling tale of secrets buried deep beneath the surf of the idyllic Pacific coast. The four-issue series is written by rising stars Tim Daniel & David “D.B.” Andry (Crush Depth, Morning Star) with gorgeously atmospheric artwork by modern horror virtuoso Maan House (Mine is a Long Lonesome Grave) coming April 8, 2026.
Today we’re taking a deeper dive into the series first issue with an extended preview just released by the publisher. Let’s start out the cover art:
Atop a rocky cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean sits the Mission at Arbués Point, a 400-year-old Spanish mission made infamous as one of California’s oldest and most haunted historical sites. But beneath its crumbling, tourist-trap facade, a reclusive nun has spent decades within the Mission’s walls, honing her prayers and practice in pursuit of a secret long-buried beneath the majesty of the chapel, and under the dark waves of the tidal estuary below. When marine archaeologist Maris Cristobal accepts the nun’s offer to begin excavating a fabled shipwreck lying in wait beneath the Mission’s turbulent waters, she’ll soon discover that the sins of past and present are about to wash together into a harrowing surge of a vengeance that can no longer be contained…
