Courtesy of DSTLRY, AIPT can exclusively reveal a variant cover for Somna #1 by Karl Kerschl. Somna is an erotic folk horror by Tula Lotay and Becky Cloonan in an extra-sized format with some pretty great variant covers to choose from.
Out in comic shops this week, Somna is “an excellent first issue, mixing the dream world and the real world that establishes mystery, intrigue, and tantalizing eroticism.”
So what’s Somna about?
Set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, Somna follows one woman’s escape from the confines of her puritanical world. Ingrid is unhappily married to Roland, the town’s bailiff and chief witch hunter, who has embarked on a single-minded quest to purge the ‘heretics’ in their midst. After a prominent town leader is found murdered, accusations fly and no one is above reproach from Roland’s deadly crusade.
Ingrid has her suspicions about who the real murderer is, but even as she searches for the truth, she’s pursued by a shadowy figure. Ingrid gravitates to the foreboding phantom in ways she can’t resist; does this otherworldly seduction hold the key to the mystery? Or will he damn Ingrid’s soul to the blackest circle of Hell?
Available exclusively through DSTLRY’s website, check out the cover below.
