The House

During the Battle of the Bulge, a squadron of US soldiers is caught in a blizzard while patrolling through the woods. Seeking refuge from the impending whiteout, they stumble across an abandoned manor, seeking shelter and safety. Once inside, however, the doors disappear, rooms begin to morph, exits become entrances, and they quickly realize there is no safety to be found.

Written by Phillip Sevy and illustrated by Drew Zucker, The House is a masterclass in psychological horror. As the soldiers’ eyes deceive them, their minds descend into madness, panic, and paranoia. Is this real? Or is there more to this labyrinth than what resides within the walls? Secrets are revealed, history is retold, and death is the only mercy.

The series, which was six years in the making, was originally released digitally on Comixology, and subsequently received a 2018 Kickstarter printing, achieving 150% of its funding goal. After selling out of all self-published copies, Dark Horse Comics stepped in to publish the 184-page trade paperback in 2021.

The House garnered significant critical acclaim, landing on Paste Magazine’s list of the 15 Best Horror Comics of 2018, as well as their Top 100 Horror Comics of All Time. The series has been praised for its atmospheric storytelling and the way it blends the horrors of war with supernatural elements.

Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, House of Leaves, and supernatural war stories that explore the psychological toll of combat.
