Patrick Horvath’s acclaimed comic series “Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees” is celebrating Halloween with a special one-shot featuring contributions from various notable creators.

The press release follows:

Media Release – The award-winning Patrick Horvath has been the definitive voice behind BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES, a cuddly yet shocking story which took the comic industry by storm and sold over 400k comics and collections as a franchise. The recently concluded sequel, BTTWNS: RITE OF SPRING, is in the running for the “Best Limited Series” Eisner Award, and now, Horvath’s inviting other acclaimed creators to take a stab at Samantha Strong’s bloody and beloved world in BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

Arriving this October, the Harvey Award-winning Horvath joins forces with superstar creators James Tynion IV (Exquisite Corpses) and Tyler Boss (You’ll Do Bad Things), Tony Fleecs (Feral) and Dave Wachter (Uncanny Valley), Che Grayson (Absolute Catwoman) and Matt Emmons (The Council of Frogs), and Jared Cullum (Usagi Yojimbo) to craft a must-read original one-shot featuring the adorable citizens of Woodbrook gathering around a campfire to share terrifying stories.

“I’m thrilled to invite some new friends to play for a bit in the world of BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES. Every new step this project has taken has been such a treat, and I felt like there’s no better time for it than Halloween. I can’t wait for readers to see what these new creators have in store for them.” -Patrick Horvath

“BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES is one of my favorite comics of the past few years, and it’s a pleasure to be invited to have a bit of gruesome fun in this killer, off-kilter world Patrick has created.” -James Tynion IV

“I was a BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES fan before almost anyone. I read a review copy before the first issue came out and haven’t stopped loudly singing its praises since. Patrick Horvath is working in a subgenera of a subgenre. He’s taking something familiar and comforting and adding outrageous violence and pathology and creating something wholly original. I couldn’t be more excited to come play in his sandbox. And that I’ve got the genius Dave Wachter here with me (co-creator of the Eisner Nominated Uncanny Valley) and we’re sharing the book with Patrick himself and James Tynion and Jared Cullum. This promises to be a beautifully disgusting comic.” -Tony Fleecs

“BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES is equal parts charming, horrific and morbidly beautiful. Patrick is a visionary and what he has brought to comics and the horror genre is something truly singular. Getting to play in the proverbial sandbox for this Halloween special is going to be a real treat.” -Che Grayson

“Patrick brings a poetic subtlety to an often intense story-world that only he can, with art that is both timeless and unique. The soft tonal palette, atmosphere and time-honored sacred traditional approach often juxtaposed against the darker, if sometimes profane imagery works so well for his stories and swallows you whole into his work. It’s an honor to have a chance to humbly play in his world.“ -Jared Cullum

“BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I absolutely adore it. Patrick Horvath has created something truly unique. And it really taps into the brainstems of those of us who grew up on Richard Scarry books. I love working with my brilliant friend Tony Fleecs, so when I was asked to draw a story in this world, there was no way I was going to say anything but ‘F* yeah!’ I can’t wait to draw something really creepy for this.” -Dave Wachter

“It’s no exaggeration to say BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES from Patrick Horvath has been a bona fide critical and commercial success for IDW Publishing.” - Taimur Dar, The Beat

“a veritable hit franchise” - Borys Kit, The Hollywood Reporter
