IDW Publishing has announced an all-new horror mini-series, Chasing the Dead, written by Matthew Scott and Tim Westland, based on a novel by author Joe Schreiber. Coming in November, Chasing the Dead is a fast-paced, ferociously tense supernatural thriller. Artist Dietrich Smith will provide captivating interiors and cover art for the series.

The debut issue tells the story of a stranger who has kidnapped Sue’s daughter, Lily. But he doesn’t want her money, only her suffering – and he will kill Lily if Sue doesn’t follow his every command. With detailed instructions, the faceless abductor leads Sue into a blinding snowstorm on the longest night of the year to a place she has not traveled to since childhood. The voice on the other end of her cell phone somehow knows Sue’s deepest, most chilling secret – an ominous incident from her past, buried long ago…

From the twisted mind of Star Wars horror novelist Schreiber, with skillful adaptation by Scott and Westland, and compelling art by Smith, this eerie series will be sure to bring chills down your spine!

CHASING THE DEAD #1 ($3.99, 32 pages, full color) will be available in November 2012. Diamond order code SEP12 0364.
