Kyle Starks and Piotr Kowalski’s WHERE MONSTERS LIE Gets the Full Omnibus Treatment

WEPA, Crusaders! Lock the doors, check the basement, and maybe don’t trust that quiet gated community in the middle of nowhere, because Where Monsters Lie is coming back in a big way.

Dark Horse Books is unleashing the Where Monsters Lie Omnibus, a new paperback edition collecting Volume 1, Volume 2, and the final chapter from the wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. That means fans can finally grab the whole twisted, hilarious, blood-soaked ride in one beautiful monster-sized package.

Written by Kyle Starks, illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, colored by Vladimir Popov, and lettered by Josh Reed, this series answers a question horror fans never knew they needed answered: what do slashers do between murder sprees? Turns out, they move to Wilmhurst, a gated commun ity where masked killers, unstoppable monsters, and doll-trapped psychopaths try to relax until it’s time to clock back into chaos.

Yeah, fam, HOA meetings must be WILD over there. But then there’s Connor Hayes. He survived a summer camp slasher. Then he survived another maniac who built torture puzzles like he was auditioning for Worst Home Renovation Ever. Now Connor is a trained special agent, and he knows exactly where the monsters are hiding. So what’s the plan? War.

Where Monsters Lie takes the slasher genre, flips it upside down, shakes the blood out of its pockets, and turns it into a sharp, funny, nasty little masterpiece of horror chaos. If you like your comics clever, violent, weird, and laughing in the face of death, this omnibus is calling your name.

Welcome to Wilmhurst. Try not to become the next neighborhood complaint.
