Dark Horse Comics and Second Sight Publishing are launching 2025 with a dose of horror, and we have your first glimpse at the next installment in the acclaimed Shook! anthology. Shook! Songs of the Dark Sirens is a brand-new collection of eight chilling tales brought to life by an award-winning roster of creators, all filtered through the lens of women.
Building on the success of Shook! A Black Horror Anthology, this new volume promises to be equally spine-tingling while exploring horror in fresh and innovative ways. You can find the full cover art below. 'I'm incredibly grateful to be collaborating with these exceptionally talented women,' stated Bradley Golden, CEO and Founder of Second Sight Publishing. 'I'm honored that Dark Horse Comics is providing these women with the platform to share such diverse and powerful stories of horror and loss with a mainstream audience.'Shook! Songs of the Dark Sirens boasts a star-studded lineup of creators, including Alitha Martinez, Shakealia 'Shake MacAudacious' Finley, Tananarive Due, Micheline Hess, Raeghan Buchanan, and Colleen Douglas. Kimbrea Whaley's mesmerizing artwork graces the cover, and the collection is set to hit bookstores just in time for Halloween. 'It's been an incredible experience working with these creators,' shared Project Lead Marcus Roberts. 'Volume 2 is destined to become an instant classic.' 'Horror told from the perspective of women, particularly Black women, holds immense significance,' reveals anthology author Colleen Douglas. 'It offers diverse viewpoints, engages with social issues, provides authentic cultural representation, empowers audiences, and contributes to the overall growth and inclusivity of the horror genre.''I was thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute a story to Shook! Volume 2,' confirms Micheline Hess. 'It allowed me to combine three of my passions: a strong, Black, female character, electric unicycles, and monsters! God’s Blood We Deliver is a story about an older woman who discovers it's never too late to embark on a new career, even in a world of vampires.' You can get a sneak peek at what awaits in the new anthology with an official preview of Pegana Rim of the Worlds below, written by Colleen Douglas, illustrated by Luis Czerniawski, colored by Andrea Messi, and lettered by Bernardo Brice. 'Richard, an antiquarian, is a devoted bibliophile and seeker of arcane knowledge. His current obsession is a tome on loan from the Ubersee Museum, Pegana Rim of the Worlds. What an opportunity for a captivating read, but something is amiss; recently, his home has been overrun by insects, not the ordinary kind, and they seem almost sentient.'Shook! Songs of the Dark Sirens will be available in bookstores and comic shops on October 28th. The 140-page paperback is currently available for pre-order at $24.99 from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your local bookstore, and your local comic store. Are you excited for Shook!
