![]() ![]() ![]() I’d always loved comics and graphic novels, but it wasn’t until reading Locke and Key that I thought, “Wow. Comics are a fantastic vehicle for smart, character-driven horror. ![]() I’m primarily a TV writer and playwright, and I first met Hill when I was hired to help develop his horror comic series ( Locke and Key) for television. Carmen Maria Machado’s The Low, Low Woods and Laura Marks’s Daphne Byrne. Machado’s book, THE LOW, LOW WOODS, is already in print, and my book, DAPHNE BYRNE, releases on Nov. I’ve been a fan of Carmen’s work ever since reading her stunning short story collection, Her Body and Other Parties.Ĭut to 2020: Machado and I both have graphic novels appearing in hardcover via Hill House Comics, Hill’s hand-curated horror imprint at DC Comics. When Joe Hill first emailed me to ask, “Have you ever thought about writing a comic book?” he said that DC Comics was also recruiting Carmen Maria Machado to write one-and I was thrilled. “I’ve always loved the horror genre, because it’s a genre where you get to see a girl fighting back with everything she’s got.”Ĭarmen Maria Machado (left) and Laura Marks. ![]()
