Wild Dark Shore

Imagine being stationed on a remote island that's slowly being swallowed by the rising sea, completely isolated from the rest of the world beyond the wildlife and a few family members. This is the scenario that sets the stage for Wild Dark Shore, a haunting novel by Charlotte McConaghy that blends mystery with environmental thriller.

Dominic has been living on Shearwater Island, the site of a global seed vault and research base, for eight years with his three children. However, due to climate change, the seeds are in jeopardy as the permafrost thaws and sea levels rise, threatening to flood the vault. All the researchers have left the base, and Dominic's family will soon too, but they first have to pack up the seeds that have been selected to be saved.

Everything is upended when Rowan, a half-dead woman, washes ashore one day, offering no clues as to who she is, where she came from, and why. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that secrets are being kept on both sides, leading to a thrilling and emotional ride.

Let This One Be a Devil

James Tynion IV does cryptids? Hell yeah. Let This One Be a Devil is a new mini-series that builds off of the True Weird anthology series about real accounts of alleged paranormal happenings. This series focuses on the Jersey Devil, a strange, winged beast long said to roam the Pine Barrens.

Issue #1 introduces the Jersey Devil in classic fashion, with someone stumbling upon the horrifying creature while investigating some troubling sounds coming from the chicken coop. It's set in the early 1900s, with a flashback to 1735 that hints at an origin story. The artist's interpretation of the Jersey Devil is demonic through and through, making for a compelling read.
