You must be this tall… to DIE!

Coming this spring from Mad Cave Studios is the trade paperback release of Murder Kingdom, collecting the first terrifying arc of this twisted horror series. From six-time New York Times bestselling and YALSA award-winning writer Fred Van Lente, artist Chris Panda, and letterer Becca Carey, this theme park slasher mystery is a pulse-pounding thrill ride—just in time for summer horror season.

Once upon a time, in a strange land called Florida… a masked psycho begins slaughtering employees at the Storybook Kingdom theme park—each kill inspired by the gruesome, blood-soaked origins of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. Trapped inside the park overnight, Tanith and her best friend must unravel the mystery before they become the next victims and live never ever after.

Blending whodunit suspense, slasher horror, and a darkly twisted fairy-tale aesthetic, Murder Kingdom is a nightmarish love letter to classic theme parks, where nostalgia meets pure nightmare fuel. Fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s, Chopping Mall, and Scream won’t want to miss this cartoon carnage-filled collection.
