While some people are preparing for some summer fun, publishers have plans set for All Hallow’s Eve! While that’s two seasons away, I’m even considering what’s coming out and want to be eager for. And with a title like Ghostbox, I can’t help but wonder if this team is taking inspiration from the legend of the Dybbuk box?
Now that’s one storage unit I dare not want to open! Following the announcement are the preview pages.
From the Press Release:
Mad Cave Studios proudly presents Ghostbox, a gripping supernatural thriller from New York Times bestselling author Mike Carey (Lucifer, The Girl With All the Gifts) and celebrated artist Pablo Raimondi (X-Factor, Sacred Creatures), with colours by José Villarrubia (Sweet Tooth, Mirror). Blending mystery, urban horror, and emotional suspense, this original graphic novel unboxes trauma, family secrets, and the supernatural forces we inherit.
Chloe and Jan come into an unexpected inheritance, and it couldn’t come at a better time for Chloe. Desperate for cash, she advertises her late uncle’s possessions online—in particular, a strange little box—and gets a very motivated buyer. But when the deal goes south, Chloe’s arrested for murder and Jan disappears. Superstars Mike Carey and Pablo Raimondi deliver a bold supernatural thriller!
“Ghostbox has been a labour of love for me and Pablo,” said writer Mike Carey. “We’ve been working up the story for a crazy number of years, and now we’ve finally found it a home at Comixology and Mad Cave. We’ve been amazed at the level of support and enthusiasm we’ve received, and we’re overjoyed that our story will now get its print debut.”
“Creating Ghostbox with Mike Carey has been an absolute dream come true, and I couldn’t be happier that Mad Cave will be bringing it to print in one beautiful graphic novel,” added artist Pablo Raimondi. “Both ComiXology and Mad Cave have been a joy to work with, and I can’t wait to share the few surprises we’re preparing for this upcoming edition.”
Along with Carey’s writing chops, Raimondi’s art is masterful. Balancing elegance and dread, intimate character work and haunting visual metaphor. Each page pulses with tension and beauty, elevated by Villarrubia’s rich colour palette. Ghostbox is an emotionally raw, visually arresting, and unrelentingly suspenseful. It arrives October 21, 2025.
