ABOUT

An enticing blend of horror and the supernatural, perfect for readers who crave an intriguing and spine-tingling journey through the unknown.

It is watching.

Haunted by the death of her friend Byron, Lucy’s world is plunged into a chilling nightmare. Lucy knows there must be something, somewhere that can tell her why she was chosen to see the terrible visions; why she feels the shadowy presence all around her. But what? Could the explanation lie with the mysterious stranger claiming to be Byron’s brother? As Lucy searches desperately for answers, she knows time is running out. Too many people have disappeared—or worse—and the constant feeling of being surrounded by something truly evil grows stronger each night. . . .

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
