Where Monsters Lie

A sharp, satirical horror-comedy from Dark Horse that launched in 2023, Where Monsters Lie follows a seemingly idyllic suburban community that is actually a gated retirement home for classic movie monsters. Created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Piotr Kowalski, the series uses its one-shot debut to set up a darkly humorous premise where retired slashers and creatures must navigate the mundane horrors of HOA meetings and neighborhood gossip. With its clever deconstruction of horror tropes and Starks' signature wit, it offers a fresh, character-driven take on monster mythology that feels both nostalgic and irreverent.
