Flux House and Dark Horse Comics recently announced Hairball by bestselling writer Matt Kindt and artist Tyler Jenkins with colors by Hilary Jenkins. In this supernatural thriller, a dysfunctional family’s mounting problems may or may not be caused by an unlikely culprit: the family’s cat. This frightening, four-part mini-series is Matt Kindt’s latest series with frequent collaborators Tyler Jenkins and Hilary Jenkins.
In honor of the upcoming release, Dread Central is partnering with Flux House and Dark Horse Comics for an exclusive contest. We’re asking fans to share an image of their cats looking like they’re up to no good. We’re talking about knocking something off the counter, getting into something they aren’t supposed to, the possibilities are endless! Submit your photos on social and tag them with #Hairball and #Bestie.
In Hairball:
A young girl named Anna begins to suspect that her black cat is behind all her troubles: her parents’ fighting and the strange whispering in her ear at night. As she tries her best to rid herself of this creature, she finds that it’s not so easy to kill. But just maybe, the cat is the only thing standing between her and an even greater evil that threatens to destroy her life.
“Hairball can be described as Junji Ito Meets Hayao Miyazaki meets Stephen King,” said Dark Horse Publisher Mike Richardson. “The story is strange and supernatural, but the world is so familiar. The family’s trauma is so real that you will not forget Bestie and her family.”
Hairball is the latest release from Flux House, a new boutique imprint that will feature the writing (and sometimes) art of Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways. Dark Horse will publish issue 1 in April 2023 with a cover by Kindt and a variant cover by The Department of Truth‘s Martin Simmonds.
