Lonely Grave Declared by Oni

Oni Press Announces New Supernatural Thriller: ‘Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave’

The magic of storytelling thrives on the backbone of thrills and chills. This February, prepare for a beguiling blend of both. Writer Justin Jordan and artist Chris Shehan, celebrated names in the comics world, are teaming up for a new venture with Oni Press. Enter "Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave," a gripping, supernatural revenge thriller that promises to chill you to the bone.

A Haunting Tale of Crime and Retribution

Harley Creed, our not-so-heroic protagonist, is back on the streets. This ex-con carries the weight of violence and crimes akin to a freight train. Having served his time, his only wish is to escape the haunting shadows of Briar Falls, WV. But this town refuses to let go. Subtle folk magic clings to Briar Falls, giving Harley no peace. Instead, it throws a deadly curse in his path.

In just seven days, Harley’s life hangs by a thread. With a hex threatening to end him in excruciating agony, Harley embarks on a desperate quest. He’s driven by revenge, seeking his unknown curse-caster to reverse this dark fate. Yet, in Briar Falls, suspects lurk in every corner. And Harley is coming for them, one by one. If he can’t escape the curse, at least he intends to make them pay.

A Tale of Crime Meets Supernatural Horror

Writer Justin Jordan relishes this unique blend of crime fiction and horror. "I get to write in my two favorite genres, and set it in my roots—Appalachia," he says. Meanwhile, artist Chris Shehan eagerly takes on the challenge. "This is a book I was meant to draw," he shares, captivated by its mix of crime, revenge, and hexes.

A Visual Feast with Variants Galore

February marks the release of Issue #1, priced at $4.99. Chris Shehan crafts the main cover, but collectors will delight in an array of variants. Works by Matthew Roberts, Kelsey Ramsay, Jeffrey Alan Love, and Jason Shawn Alexander promise visual dynamism. From the darkness of Briar Falls to the chaos of revenge, every cover tells its own tale.

Prepare for a supernatural whirlwind, as Oni Press weaves magic and menace into "Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave." This February, will Harley defeat his curse—or will time run out?
