Séance in the Asylum will have you questioning what is real, and what’s not…or in this case, who’s mad, who’s sane, or who’s actually possessed?

1865. The Civil War finally reaches its grueling end. Soldiers returning from the frontline come home broken, their minds shattered. An influx of patients overwhelms The Ashcroft Hospital, an asylum in upstate New York. Dr. John James Templeton is busy developing a radical new theory: spiritualism—the act of communicating with the dead—is its own form of therapy. What better way to draw out these mental maladies then with a little assistance from the other side? Templeton enlists Alicia Wilkinson, a medium who as a young girl established herself as a sought-after conduit capable of contacting the dead…but her own past continues to haunt her.

These séance sessions become a cutting-edge form of “spectral therapy,” where patients are permitted to converse with, perhaps expunge, their own maladies. By reaching out beyond the veil of our own world, these spirits aid in drawing out the illness of the patient. But something is changing in the patients. They are acting different…possessed, perhaps. Templeton’s experiment is a success. Too successful. It is up to Alicia to understand what is happening to the patients of Ashcroft…before it’s too late.

Collects Séance in the Asylum issues #1–#4.

More and more patients are acting strangely at The Ashcroft Hospital and none of the doctors know why. What’s happening to the infirmed and feeble-minded men and women who wander its halls? They are changing, seemingly possessed… Only Alicia knows the truth—these patients are possessed, their bodies now vessels for spirits brought over from the other side—but no one will believe her. Not Dr. Templeton. Not even close confidant Dr. Reginald Waters. What Alicia fears the most, what no one is willing to admit, is that the number of possessed patients is only growing… until it’s too late. Clay McLeod Chapman and Leonardo Marcello Grassi team up for a horrific and creepy comics series! Four issue series.

Carl, a comatosed soldier suffering from combat fatigue, hasn’t spoken a word in years. But thanks to Alicia’s séance, he has finally awoken out from his war-torn stupor. But something is different about him. Something has changed. Not only is he not acting like himself, he appears to be someone else altogether. He seems to be… possessed? But by who? Unnerved by the success of her own seances, Alicia confesses to Dr. Templeton of her fraudulence. It’s all a lie, she says. Templeton won’t hear it. He blackmails her to continue. But the newly-revived Carl has plans of his own… Clay McLeod Chapman and Leonardo Marcello Grassi team up for a horrific and creepy comics series!
