Halloween is almost upon us andComiXology Originalsare 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.

Ghostbox is one of five new books coming over the next few months from the imprint, in a deal inked with indie publisher Mad Cave Studios.

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