Recondite Hill: Things to See is an anthology of horror comics based in the fictional town of Recondite Hill. This spooky town is everywhere and nowhere, full of strange incidents and even stranger creatures lurking in the shadows. It is, in essence, a love letter to those weird local stories about monster sightings, unexplainable events and forbidden places. These stories are captured in black-and-white grayscale on 110 pages of haunting comics and illustrations by 24 magnificent artists and writers. The goal of this Kickstarter is to cover the cost of any physical books purchased, and to pay the artists and writers for their work.

This book has been lovingly put together by a group of diverse, up-and-coming creators, many of whom are LGBTQ+ and/or POC.

This is the first book run by Jaci Menard and Steph Vinke: a writer/artist and editor team of queer women who love unique stories and spooky monsters. With the Recondite Hill: Things to See Anthology, they are looking to make their own mark in the indie comic industry.

We’re halfway through our Kickstarter run! We’ve added new limited tiers, so please check them out!

Below the cut you’ll find the list of our contributors, with links to their tumblrs/twitters! Give them a follow, they’re all amazing!

Please consider supporting us, and spread the word! Only 2 weeks left!

Hi everyone, long time no talk! Our artists and writers have worked hard these past few months on completing their comics, and we are now working toward the launch of the Kickstarter! Look forward to that in the next few weeks! In the meantime, here are a few teasers from a few of the comics you’ll see in the anthology!
