Something is Killing the Children–singled out as Horror News Network’s Series of the Year in 2020–is expanding its horror universe.
BOOM! Studios will unveil House of Slaughter this October, as reported by comicbook.com, a new horror comic book that will spotlight tales outside of the adventures of Erica Slaughter, the main protagonist of the original series.
The spinoff series will explore the inner workings and secret history of the Order of St. George that helped transform Erica into the fearsome monster she is today. The first glimpse into a potential spinoff comic was given in Something is Killing the Children No. 5.
House of Slaughter is the brainchild of writers James Tynion IV (co-creator of the original book) and Tate Brombal and artists Werther Dell’Edera (also a co-creator) and Chris Shehan. Check out the striking cover of the premiere issue on this page.
House of Slaughter No. 1 features a main cover by Dell’Edera and Shehan, with variant covers being rendered by Alvaro Martinez Bueno, Jenny Frison and Mike Del Mundo.
Tynion IV said he is anxious to introduce readers to “the hunters Erica grew up alongside, and the other Houses within the Order of St. George.” And collaborator Dell’Edera said, “I can’t wait for fans to see what terrifying new horrors await in this new series.”
