The Creeping Below

The Creeping Below, launched in 2026 from Boom! Studios, is a horror series that follows a lone survivor in a remote mountain town as an ancient, subterranean evil awakens. Writer Brian Keene and artist Valeria Burzo craft a claustrophobic, slow-burn nightmare rooted in folk horror and environmental dread. With only one issue released so far, the series is already earning notice for its unsettling atmosphere and meticulous, dread-filled pacing. It matters as a fresh, grounded take on cosmic horror from a creator known for his bleak, visceral storytelling.
