It’s all in their heads.

ALEX

In a post-apocalyptic landscape in which everyone you meet is capable of either transforming into a demonic Lovecraftian horror or becoming possessed by an angelic force that turns their eyes into twin jets of purifying flame, being an introvert has its advantages. But Alex might just have to learn to trust someone if she wants to escape from the nightmare she has created for herself. The trouble is, though, that in a world this comfortably predictable, free from the unnecessary stresses of a so-called normal life, why would she want to?

CHLOE

After being attacked by a creep in an underpass—the Button-Eyed Man—Chloe undertook a radical new form of therapy that utilised lucid dreaming to help her overcome her trauma. Now she has become the Oneironaut, using the same technology that healed her to protect dreamers from a terrifying dream parasite she calls a bugaboo. But with a friend so loyal he’ll even protect her from the truth, a revelation is coming that will challenge Chloe’s very sanity—unless Alex can step in to save her from herself.

This collection of the two AloneNotLonely mini-series also includes the story that first introduced Chloe and the Button-Eyed Man to the world, Figments.

AloneNotLonely is part sci-fi and part psychological horror, written and illustrated by Luke Cooper, creator of Hollow Girl and Pumpernickel, and artist on the award-winning GoodCopBadCop and Wolf Country.

Alex Lilburn – a girl who spent six weeks catatonic, trapped in a dream world of her own creation. Chloe Addison – a girl who protects dreamers from bugaboos, parasites that feed on our fear. Kindred spirits and yet too asocial to be together. But Chloe is going to need a friend when the terrifying Button-Eyed Man returns and her life becomes a nightmare once again, reality and fantasy blurring together. And Alex will realise that true strength comes from fighting for someone else. Equal parts monsters and melodrama, nightmares come true in the concluding part of the second AloneNotLonely story arc. From Luke Cooper, creator of Hollow Girl, Figments, Pumpernickel and A Glimpse of Hell, and artist on the award winning GoodCopBadCop, Wolf Country and Burlap: Death Waits for No One, AloneNotLonely: Dream Logic is an unsettling blend of sci-fi, horror, drama and romance.

By: Luke Cooper

A meeting of two damaged introverts… Just when Alex seems settled into her old life – both alone and lonely, no matter what she says – a knock on the door plunges her back into a nightmare.

Because Chloe Addison – a self-proclaimed oneironaut who has mastered lucid dreaming to such a degree that she can enter other people’s dreams – is convinced that parasites she calls bugaboos hide in our nightmares, feeding on our fear, and Alex – as someone who lived in a dreamworld of her own creation for weeks – is therefore likely to be absolutely infested.

Now, if Chloe can’t convince Alex of the creatures’ existence, it’s only a matter of time before the shadow people find a way to slip into our world to spread their plague of insanity and death.
