From the vaults of BOOM! Studios’ acclaimed horror anthology Hello Darkness comes a curated collection overflowing with grimy, gritty, and gory grotesqueries by bestselling writer Steve Orlando and a certifiable rogue’s gallery of incredible artists in the new special one-shot Hello Darkness: Good Bones and Other Sordid Tales #1.
Featuring familiar stories, as well as a brand-new terror in “Good Bones” illustrated by the up-and-coming Dillon Snook.
“When BOOM! first reached out about being part of Hello Darkness, it was the exact kind of surprise I needed—the kind that kicks you in the ass,” said writer Steve Orlando. “I’d dipped my toe into horror a bit but never took the dive. When they believed in a strange story like ‘The Foster’, it was too good to be true. And then the call came again and again, I was knocking on all the wood I could find—luckily, I have pine floors. So now, to be honored with a Hello Darkness one-shot and debut a new story with ‘Good Bones’? It’s the best kind of hallucination made real. These are stories I care about—inspired by creators like Gogol, Carpenter, Bulgakov, and Cronenberg! I am so proud of the work in this book, built with an incredible cadre of the dream artistic collaborators—and I can’t wait for you folks to see it all in one place!”
Hello Darkness: Good Bones and Other Sordid Tales #1 will be available in comic shops February 11, 2026. It is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
