Qutie: cute killers on the QT. Suzy Sweet is a nice, normal girl—a real sweetheart, a true innocent. She soon realises there is more to her than even she knew, however, when she is caught up in a convenience store hold-up and suddenly finds a shotgun in her face. Everything goes black. When she comes to, she is covered in blood and all the robbers are dead.

By the time Suzy has figured out what’s really going on, she’ll be on the run, a lot more people will be dead, and she will have uncovered a top-secret government project—a conspiracy to weaponise trauma—all leading to the greatest mystery of all: who is April Gray?

From Luke Cooper, creator of Hollow Girl, AloneNotLonely, and Pumpernickel, April Gray is a bloody head-on collision between Jason Bourne and Becky.

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.

By: Luke Cooper (Author)

THE FOUNDLING

When ex-con Michael Blunt takes in a mute homeless girl, he believes he has found a path to redemption. But what he has really found – and made himself the unwitting guardian of – is the new Hollow Girl – soulless vessel of the vengeful dead.

BLUNT

Michael Blunt has been made the guardian of the new Hollow Girl, as directed by the original, a phantom with skin like cracked porcelain. But now his criminal past has caught up with him, meaning they are now facing enemies from both sides – those of the living and the dead.

A DREAM OF LIFE

In two flashback stories, featuring half-remembered cases from Hollow Girls old and new, reality and dream converge to form a shared nightmare and, with luck, an escape from death itself.

Confused? Imagine how Hannah feels. It’s not easy being betrayed by someone you love and losing your soul in the process.
