About The Book
"A win for adult horror fans and a surprisingly unique take on the haunted house story." —Booklist, starred review
HOUSES AREN'T THE ONLY THING THAT ARE HAUNTED. . . . Architect of terror Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman, In Bloom) and 2024 Ringo Award winner Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound) launch a deep and disturbing excursion into 21st century—horror with a new kind of tale that will rebuild the four walls of the American ghost story from the foundation up . . .
Thirteen years ago, Orin McCabe was a family man living a privileged life in the California suburbs. Today, he's condemned to death row for murdering his entire family in an unexpected fit of hammer-wielding brutality. In the aftermath of his heinous crime, it's fallen to a trio of eclectic, but dedicated, ghost hunters—Jacob, the holy man; Holland, the skeptic; and their leader, Del, a true believer in the occult and worlds beyond—to surveil the abandoned McCabe home in search of proof for the existence of the undead . . . and whatever supernatural source may have possibly fueled McCabe’s inhuman massacre. But this ill-matched and uneasy squad of investigators is about to discover something much more terrifying than any ordinary spirit. . . . Something much more pernicious, much more contagious, that if not contained, could take full advantage of America's unquenchable appetite for violence and deliver a plague of blood unto us all . . .
Collects issues #1–4 of Plague House in a twisting tale of horror that's as blood-soaked as the ground you stand on.

Raves and Reviews
"With this brutal horror story, Conrad and Chisholm redefine haunting in multiple ways, as the reader may find its concepts hard to shake long after the last page. [...] A win for adult horror fans and a surprisingly unique take on the haunted house story."
– Booklist, starred review
"A new classic in horror.”
– Nerd Initiative
"Humor quickly becomes horror, then a mischievous mix as needed and appropriate… There’s appeal here for those who enjoy ghost hunting and paranormal investigation in any form, as well as readers who love a chill-worthy haunting. If you fit into either category or both, you should launch your own investigation and explore Plague House."
– Comics Beat
“Praiseworthy… With a tight pacing and a sleek script, Conrad manages to show Orin’s murder and give each of the paranormal investigators their own mini-adventures while roaming through the McCabe’s house. Artist Dave Chisholm brings the horrifying crime to life with unnerving precision, knowing exactly when to depict the graphic violence and when just to suggest it and leave readers’ minds to fill the gruesome picture… Plague House is well worthy of the attention of horror aficionados.”
– Comicbook.com
“There are surprises and then there are shockers. [Plague House] delivers a true shocker than should reward readers ... an unexpected, but pleasant, surprise in every sense.”
– Comiccon.com
“The artwork is dark and visceral. The intensity in the violence radiates off of the panels through shocking imagery and perfect color choices. Chisholm brings a raw and grounded design and vibe to the story that makes it feel even more intense… Plague House is a deadly good time."
