Just a heads up, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is getting a pair of Direct Market exclusive hardcovers. Already pre-ordered mine ;)

Hopefully my store orders enough copies to get the signed bookplates... #comics @patrickhorvath.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees (DM) Written by PATRICK HORVATH Just added, an Exclusive Direct Market Hard Cover Edition of the critically acclaimed cozy-horror series featuring 8 pages of additional content. Don’t. Murder. The locals. For Samantha Strong, this isn’t just advice, it’s survival. She’s Woodbrook’s most reliable shop owner, its warmest smile, and beneath all that fur… its most efficient serial killer. The big city beyond the evergreens has more than enough prey; Sam just wants her tranquil life, her tidy storefront, and the comforting lull of cedar branches and apple-pie breezes. But tranquility shatters when a fellow Woodbrook resident turns up savaged by an unknown hand. Suddenly the gossip swirls, panic rises, and Sheriff Patterson is on the prowl, too close for comfort. Sam knows one thing: if someone else is killing in her woods, they’re not just a threat to her routine. They’re a threat to everything she’s built. And she’ll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth before Woodbrook tears itself apart. From writer-artist Patrick Horvath comes a darkly delightful thriller, already crowned the 2025 Harvey Book of the Year. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring (DM) Written by PATRICK HORVATH Don’t miss the exclusive Direct Market Hard Cover featuring 8 pages of exclusive content in the Eisner-nominated sequel to the critically acclaimed cozy-horror comic series. It’s been eight long years since a bloodlusting brown bear drove into the city, kidnapped a kind young duck, dissected his body, and buried the pieces in the woods. The duck’s family painstakingly sought justice… but this brown bear was smart… she covered her tracks… and in the ’80s, there simply wasn’t a way for the duck’s family to find answers. But it’s not the ’80s anymore. Almost a decade after cuddly brown bear Samantha Strong solidified herself as the sole serial killer in Woodbrook, the world is entering a new era. As Samantha will soon find out, there are no secrets in the age of the internet. And those who lost loved ones to her massacre haven’t given up the flame of justice. A reckoning is coming to Woodbrook. Join visionary writer and artist Patrick Horvath as he returns to the hit series that has taken the comic world by storm! An all market Trade Paperback version is also available for sale on 7/21/26. Bookplate Preorder Promotion for Hardcover Direct Market Exclusives BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES STORY & ART PATRICK HORVATH 176 Pages • $29.99 • JULY 2026 ISBN 9798887242040 BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING STORY & ART PATRICK HORVATH 176 Pages • $29.99 • JULY 2026 ISBN 9798887242057 Direct Market Exclusive: Hardcover Editions of Patrick Horvath’s Harvey Award-winning, Eisner-nominated best seller!
