The nice house on the lake

After leaving his mark on the horror genre, James Tynion IV delivers his most ambitious story yet, reuniting with his *Detective Comics* collaborator Álvaro Martínez Bueno. Everyone invited to the house knows Walter—more or less. Some have known him since childhood; others, only for a few months. He has always been a bit odd. But after the hardest year of their lives, no one would turn down an invitation to a beautiful house in the woods overlooking a vast lake. Opulent and secluded, the place makes enduring their host’s quirks for a week well worth it for the vacation of a lifetime. And so, every anxiety plaguing the twenty-first century takes on the shape and face of the person they trusted most.
