The Spooky Side of Cincinnati Returns in an All-New Book!

Third Installment the Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities 

[Cincinnati, Ohio, January 2025] Dare to walk the haunted hills and hollers of the Cincinnati region with six new spine-tingling tales of the unexplained retold and illustrated by twelve local artists in the Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities: Haunts and Horrors comics anthology. 

This is the third installment of a regional comic anthology series. Featured stories include: 

  • The sorrowful ghost of the Lady in Black who visits the Eden Park Gazebo every year after the incident that led to her death in 1927. 
  • What if the murder of Billy Fee, Cincinnati’s oldest cold case which has stumped historians since 1890, didn’t disappear over mortal circumstances
  • A journalist gets more than she bargained for covering the haunts at an old farmhouse with paranormal investigators. The chilling incident leaves her with more questions than answers. 
  • An old tree in Alexandria, Kentucky is hexed by the three old witches buried beneath its boughs cursing all those who provoke them.
  • Grassman will continue to be Ohio’s hide-and-seek champion, but not if a couple of entrepreneurial cryptozoologists get their way. 
  • It was a cold day in January 1878 when a sea serpent was seen swimming beneath the Roebling Bridge, sparking a serpent frenzy in the Queen City. 

The anthology boasts a talented group of creators which includes a New York best-selling cartoonist, local journalists, award-winning artists, and great local up-and-coming writers.
