House of Penance

House of Penance is a haunting six-issue limited series from Dark Horse, published in 2016, that reimagines the true story of Winchester Mystery House as a fever dream of guilt and obsession. Written by Peter J. Tomasi with visceral, intricate art by Ian Bertram, the series follows a grief-stricken heiress compelled to build endlessly, convinced that only ceaseless construction can keep malevolent spirits at bay. Its moody, psychological horror and striking visual style make it a standout in Dark Horse’s horror catalog, offering a deeply human take on a bizarre historical footnote.
