We’ve got a very exciting project for you to feast your eyes on today! That’s right, from the pages of Hello Darkness comes a spine-tingling special collecting the stories by Steve Orlando —HELLO DARKNESS: GOOD BONES AND OTHER SORDID TALES #1.
Published by BOOM! Studios, Hello Darkness is a monthly, ongoing horror anthology series. Chilling, gruesome, eerie and psychological, these stories are collected by a wide range of outstanding writers and artists. Some of the most notable creators involved include James Tynion IV, Garth Ennis, Becky Cloonan, R.L. Stine, and so on.
Coming in 2026 is a one-shot collection gory grotesqueries by bestselling writer Steve Orlando, along with a certifiable rogue’s gallery of incredible artists. The one-shot is titled HELLO DARKNESS: GOOD BONES AND OTHER SORDID TALES #1. The issue features familiar stories, as well as a brand-new terror in “Good Bones” illustrated by the up-and-coming Dillon Snook.
“When BOOM! first reached out about being part of Hello Darkness, it was the exact kind of surprise I needed—the kind that kicks you in the ass,” said writer Steve Orlando. “I’d dipped my toe into horror a bit but never took the dive. When they believed in a strange story like ‘The Foster’, it was too good to be true. And then the call came again and again, I was knocking on all the wood I could find—luckily, I have pine floors. So now, to be honored with a Hello Darkness one-shot and debut a new story with ‘Good Bones’? It’s the best kind of hallucination made real. These are stories I care about—inspired by creators like Gogol, Carpenter, Bulgakov, and Cronenberg! I am so proud of the work in this book, built with an incredible cadre of the dream artistic collaborators—and I can’t wait for you folks to see it all in one place!”
Hello Darkness: Good Bones and Other Sordid Tales debuts February 11, 2026.
