MURDER KINGDOM: A Fairy Tale Nightmare Unleashed by Fred Van Lente & Mad Cave Studios
Amusement, Fear, Revulsion, and Joy—Classic Slashers and Toon Terror Collide This spring!
You must be this tall… to DIE!
Coming this spring from Mad Cave Studios is the trade paperback release of MURDER KINGDOM, collecting the first terrifying arc of this twisted horror series. From six-time New York Times bestselling and YALSA award-winning writer Fred Van Lente (Marvel Zombies), artist Chris Panda (Chocklit Shoppe of Horrors: Night Shift, Rom: First Strike), and letterer Becca Carey (Radiant Black, Golden Rage), this theme park slasher mystery is a pulse-pounding thrill ride—just in time for summer horror season.
Once upon a time, in a strange land called Florida… a masked psycho begins slaughtering employees at the Storybook Kingdom theme park—each kill inspired by the gruesome, blood-soaked origins of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. Trapped inside the park overnight, Tanith and her best friend must unravel the mystery before they become the next victims and live never ever after.
Blending whodunit suspense, slasher horror, and a darkly twisted fairy-tale aesthetic, Murder Kingdom is a nightmarish love letter to classic theme parks, where nostalgia meets pure nightmare fuel. Fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s, Chopping Mall, and Scream won’t want to miss this cartoon carnage-filled collection.
The trade paperback for Murder Kingdom drops in comic shops and bookstores on May 20th.
