Oni Press and SpectreVision—the genre-distorting production company run by partners Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee—present HIGH STRANGENESS, a startling new experiment in comic book storytelling inspired by firsthand accounts of real paranormal encounters . . . where overlapping phenomena like UFOs, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and inexplicable synchronicities seem to indicate a higher, unseen order of reality . . .

A decade ago, Daniel Noah—writer, producer, director, and co-founder of SpectreVision, the acclaimed production company known for films like Panos Cosmatos’s Mandy, Ana Lily Amirpour’s A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and many more—was a typical skeptic . . . until an awe-inspiring and unexplainable encounter at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, (the haunted hotel that inspired The Shining) left him questioning the verifiable existence of paranormal phenomenon. In the ensuing years, Noah has documented and logged hundreds of otherworldly encounters spanning the super-spectrum of “high strangeness” that connects sightings of objects in the sky to haunted places and other perplexing manifestations that extend like fingers from a hidden hand.

Now, in the pages of HIGH STRANGENESS, Noah leads an otherworldly cast of premier comics talents—including acclaimed writers Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Don’t Die), Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), Cecil Castellucci (EC’s Cruel Universe), and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness), and dazzling artists Dave Chisholm (Plague House), Noah Bailey (Station Grand), Valeria Burzo (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss), Chloé Stawski (Sapphic Pulp), and Christian Ward (The Ultimates)—across five decades of uncanny encounters at the dimly lit borderlands of human experience . . . that interlock to reveal an ambitious, dimension-spanning finale informed by Noah’s own real-life glimpses of nonhuman intelligence.

Collecting High Strangeness #1–5, this oversized deluxe hardcover volume also includes a series of feature-length essays by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry (Euphomet) on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in each chapter.

High Strangeness Book Three: 1983 Issue Available December 17

#horror – #horrorcomics – #HighStrangeness – #OniPress – @OniPress – #ChristopherCantwell – #DanielNoah –

From genre-colliding production company SpectreVision and groundbreaking comic book publisher Oni Press, the startling five-part expedition into the dimly lit borderlands of human experience—where phenomena like UFOs, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and inexplicable synchronicities overlap and bleed through the very fabric of reality itself—continues as writer, producer, and real-life experiencer Daniel Noah teams with Eisner Award nominee Christopher Cantwell (The Flash, Out of Alcatraz) and rising star Valeria Burzo (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss) to bring HIGH STRANGENESS to 1983.

On her 30th birthday, Cindy Freeman successfully tests her newly invented microcontroller Lifeboat—a device that can be plugged into any damaged system and repair its operating functions. After a freak accident on their way to celebratory drinks, she and her father walk away from a massive car crash surprisingly unscathed… but in the days that follow—including the theft of Lifeboat, the sudden and suspicious lack of interest from the company that had been eager to acquire it, and the uncanny deterioration of her father and the world around them—she becomes convinced they’re trapped inside some reality-bending danger and mere pawns in a life-and-death game of corporate espionage.

Presented in an extra-sized and ad-free prestige format with cardstock covers, each 40-page issue of HIGH STRANGENESS also includes a brand-new nonfiction special feature exploring the real-life documented history behind each interlocking chapter.
