Hack/Slash writer Tim Seeley is returning to horror with a new Vertigo miniseries titled Imaginary Fiends. Scheduled to launch November 15, the six-issue series with artist Stephen Molnar spins the familiar concept of a girl and an imaginary friend into a horrific tale.
Years ago, a young girl named Brinke Calle was found covered in blood near the woods in the small rural town of Cannon Falls, MN, when her best friend Melba attempted to murder her. When investigators tried to understand why, Melba revealed that a spider girl named Polly Peachpit told her to. Years later, Melba is turning 18 and will begin her real sentence in federal prison. That is, until a new unit in the FBI recruits her, with an explanation for what happened so many years ago.
Another world exists beyond ours. One that is terrifying, where hungry spectral aliens stalk the minds of the weak and impressionable, and these parasites have leeched onto humanity for too long. But in order to understand them, Melba must first unleash her own monster.
