Not all monsters hide in the dark. Some of them wear masks — and carry permission.

The town of Archer’s Peak is now completely cut off from the outside world. Erica Slaughter, the heroine of Something Is Killing the Children, has lost control over the situation as gruesome news of the murders begins to spread far beyond the town’s borders. Her fight for truth and justice is no longer just personal — it becomes an open war against a system that has operated in the shadows for far too long.

Soon, other members of the House of Slaughter arrive in town. But unlike Erica, they’re not here to help — they’re here to silence. Their mission is clear: clean up the mess, cover up the truth, and protect the secrets of the Order at all costs. Erica realizes that the monsters threatening the town are not only hiding in the forest — they’re also wearing the same insignia she once swore loyalty to.

As the line between ally and enemy begins to blur, Erica must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the innocent. Because this time, the price of salvation might be too high — even for someone like her.

The Something Is Killing the Children series, brought to life by writer James Tynion IV and artist Werther Dell’Edera, continues to deliver a dark, gripping, and emotionally charged story of courage, sacrifice, and truths that many would rather stay buried.
