Oni Press and SpectreVision--the genre-distorting production company run by partners Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee--present HIGH STRANGENESS , a startling new experiment in comic book storytelling inspired by firsthand accounts of real paranormal encounters . . . where overlapping phenomena like UFOs, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and inexplicable synchronicities seem to indicate a higher, unseen order of reality . . . A decade ago, Daniel Noah--writer, producer, director, and co-founder of SpectreVision, the acclaimed production company known for films like Panos Cosmatos's Mandy , Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night , and many more--was a typical skeptic . . . until an awe-inspiring and unexplainable encounter at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, (the haunted hotel that inspired The Shining ) left him questioning the verifiable existence of paranormal phenomenon. In the ensuing years, Noah has documented and logged hundreds of otherworldly encounters spanning the super-spectrum of "high strangeness" that connects sightings of objects in the sky to haunted places and other perplexing manifestations that extend like fingers from a hidden hand. Now, in the pages of HIGH STRANGENESS , Noah leads an otherworldly cast of premier comics talents--including acclaimed writers Chris Condon ( Ultimate Wolverine ), Zac Thompson ( Cemetery Kids Don't Die ), Christopher Cantwell ( Out of Alcatraz ), Cecil Castellucci (EC's Cruel Universe ), and Christian Ward ( Batman: City of Madness ), and dazzling artists Dave Chisholm ( Plague House ), Noah Bailey ( Station Grand ), Valeria Burzo (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss) , Chlo??? Stawski ( Sapphic Pulp ), and Christian Ward ( The Ultimates )--across five decades of uncanny encounters at the dimly lit borderlands of human experience . . . that interlock to reveal an ambitious, dimension-spanning finale informed by Noah's own real-life glimpses of nonhuman intelligence. Collecting High Strangeness #1-5, this oversized deluxe hardcover volume also includes a series of feature-length essays by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry ( Euphomet ) on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in each chapter.
