In the gaslit splendor of late 19th-century New York, rage builds inside 14-year-old Daphne. The sudden death of her father has left her alone with her grief-stricken mother who becomes easy prey for a group of occultists promising to contact her dead husband. While fighting to disentangle her mother from these charlatans, Daphne begins to sense a strange, insidious presence in her own body...an entity with unspeakable appetites. What does "Brother" want? And could Daphne stop him even if she tried? Writer Laura Marks (TV's Ray Donovan, The Expanse, and The Good Fight) and horror comics legend Kelley Jones (The Sandman, Batman: Red Rain) join forces to unleash spirits from beyond into DC's Hill House Comics, curated by JOE HILL!

In the aftermath of a devastating tsunami, an exploration vessel known as the Derleth begins sending an automated distress signal from a remote atoll in the Bering Strait. The only problem is that the Derleth has been missing for 40 years. Marine biologist Moriah Lamb joins the Carpenter Wreck Removal team to recover the Derleth's dead...only to find that in this remote part of the Arctic Circle, the dead have plenty to say to the living.
There's something down in the icy darkness of the Arctic sea...something that doesn't want to be found. Unlike on land, where terror shows itself as the long-lost crew of the Derleth emerges from caves. They seem as though they haven't aged a day -- it's as if they're exactly the same as the day they disappeared...except they're all missing their eyes. Will the salvage crew survive to bring their findings to shore? What danger waits for them if they fail? What dangers await us all should they succeed?
