Oni Press and SpectreVision—the genre-distorting production company run by partners Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and Lawrence Inglee—present HIGH STRANGENESS, a startling new experiment in comic book storytelling inspired by firsthand accounts of real paranormal encounters . . . where overlapping phenomena like UFOs, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and inexplicable synchronicities seem to indicate a higher, unseen order of reality . . .

A decade ago, Daniel Noah—writer, producer, director, and co-founder of SpectreVision, the acclaimed production company known for films like Panos Cosmatos's Mandy, Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and many more—was a typical skeptic . . . until an awe-inspiring and unexplainable encounter at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, (the haunted hotel that inspired The Shining) left him questioning the verifiable existence of paranormal phenomenon. In the ensuing years, Noah has documented and logged hundreds of otherworldly encounters spanning the super-spectrum of “high strangeness” that connects sightings of objects in the sky to haunted places and other perplexing manifestations that extend like fingers from a hidden hand.

Now, in the pages of HIGH STRANGENESS, Noah leads an otherworldly cast of premier comics talents—including acclaimed writers Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine), Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Don't Die), Christopher Cantwell (Out of Alcatraz), Cecil Castellucci (EC's Cruel Universe), and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness), and dazzling artists Dave Chisholm (Plague House), Noah Bailey (Station Grand), Valeria Burzo (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss), Chloé Stawski (Sapphic Pulp), and Christian Ward (The Ultimates)—across five decades of uncanny encounters at the dimly lit borderlands of human experience . . . that interlock to reveal an ambitious, dimension-spanning finale informed by Noah’s own real-life glimpses of nonhuman intelligence.

Collecting High Strangeness #1–5, this oversized deluxe hardcover volume also includes a series of feature-length essays by podcaster and researcher Jim Perry (Euphomet) on the historical facts and documentary evidence underpinning the phenomena detailed in each chapter.
