Writer Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode) and artist Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter) are collaborating on a revenge horror story. Set in the rural area of Appalachia, Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave, will be a four-issue miniseries from Oni Press.

Harley Creed is as ex-con who committed multiple violent crimes, and now that he’s out of prison, all Harley wants to do is leave Briar Falls, West Virginia and disappear. But Harley learns that he isn’t finished paying for his crimes yet when a hex is put on him, giving Harley only seven days to live before dying a terrible death. The only way to break the hex is to kill the person who put it on him – which proves difficult given the number of people in town that want him dead. Harley is ready to go after anyone who could be the culprit.

“Crime? Revenge? Witchcraft and hexes? This is a book I was meant to draw,” Shehan said.

“I don’t get an opportunity to do as much crime as I want…” Jordan said. “Wait, no, I mean I don’t get a chance to do as much crime fiction as I would like, so getting to do a crime book that is also a horror book, my other favorite genre, has been awesome. And getting to set it in Appalachia, where I’m from, is just icing on the very brutal cake.”

Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave #1 features covers by Shehan, Matthew Roberts (Battle Pope), Kelsey Ramsay (Moon Dogs), Jeffrey Alan Love (Absolute Batman), and Jason Shawn Alexander (Killadelphia). The first issue arrives in comic shops in February 2025.
