If you thought your smart home glitching was terrifying, Mad Cave Studios is about to double down on your techno-paranoia. This October, the publisher returns to its unsettling sci-fi horror anthology with TERRORBYTES HALLOWEEN ANNUAL #1—an oversized 40-page special proving that the scariest monsters aren’t lurking in your closet; they’re sitting in your browser history.
Building on the acclaimed series’ signature theme of humanity’s toxic romance with technology, the annual pairs established creator Mark London (Mister Nemo, Honor & Curse: Eternal) with fresh blood: the winners of Mad Cave’s 2025 Talent Search, Jennifer Liao and DL White.
Three Tales of High-Tech Terror
Positioned perfectly for fans of Black Mirror, The Twilight Zone, The Silver Coin, and classic EC Comics, this triple-threat anthology serves up futuristic nightmares brought to life by artists Mac Rey, Aguste Calcagno, and Gabriele Falzone, colorists Pedro Estouco and Edson Jimenez, and letterers Marina Leon and Chase Snyder. Wrapping up the package is an eerie main cover by Dave Chisholm (Spectrum).
Whether it’s rogue algorithms, digital hauntings, or speculative science fiction gone deeply off the rails, this oversized issue promises to be mandatory Halloween reading for anyone who likes their horror with a high-speed Wi-Fi connection.
