Halloween is almost upon us and ComiXology Originals are getting in the spooky season mood with a creepy new five-issue limited series from Lucifer writer Mike Carey, artist Pablo Raimondi, and colorist José Villarrubia.

In Ghostbox, two sisters receive an unexpected inheritance from a mysterious uncle: a house in a remote part of Cornwall. Travelling there to check it out, they discover a cluttered ruin full of junk, including an old musical box. When they start to put the items on eBay, however, they're surprised by how much attention they get. Soon their lives are in danger from an inhuman threat...

We've read the first issue and Ghostbox is a terrific horror thriller that takes the time to build up a suitably sinister atmosphere before moving into more fantastical territory. We've got an exclusive preview of the first few pages from the new series, which you can read in the gallery below.

There will also be a second series of Scott and Jack Snyder's By a Thread, and original horror graphic novel The 99 Legs by Michael W. Conrad and artist Noah Bailey, both to follow in Spring 2025. Other creatives also involved with projects coming soon from ComiXology Originals include John Romita, Jr., Alex Segura, Valeria Favoccia, Tom Morello, and more.

Ghostbox #1 is published by ComiXology Originals on October 29.
