DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS "SUMMER SHADOWS"

The Talented Mr. Ripley meets Dracula in this stylish neo-noir LGBTQIA+ vampire horror series

Dive into the beautiful and thrilling seas off the Greece islands in Summer Shadows. The acclaimed creative team behind Wiper returns to bring you this darkly seductive horror series, arriving in Spring 2025 in one complete paperback volume. The book collects issues #1-4 of the Summer Shadows comic series, written by John Harris Dunning (Tumult, Wiper, Salem Brownstone), illustrated by Ricardo Cabral (Wiper), colored by Brad Simpson (The Butcher’s Boy), and lettered by Jim Campbell (Into the Unbeing).

By day, the Greek islands are all sand, sea, and fun…but by night, they’re the perfect hunting ground for vampires! Nick Landry is searching for his ex, Anthony, on the unspoiled island of Avraxos. Anthony was the love of his life, and Nick can’t move on without knowing why he left. But Anthony isn’t the only one to disappear on Avraxos. Coast Guard officer Alekos Kourkoulos is on the trail of another young man who disappeared there. Both missing men had fallen under the spell of the cadaverously glamorous inhabitants of a jet-black superyacht that was moored offshore before vanishing. As the mystery deepens, Nick and Alekos discover that the brighter the sunshine, the darker the shadows…

The Summer Shadows (136 pages, 6.625 x 10.1875″) paperback volume will be available in bookstores on April 15, 2025, and in comic shops on April 16, 2025. The book is available for pre-order now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, TFAW, and wherever books and comics are sold. It will retail for $24.99.
