MONSTER HIGH

A fright-filled story set in the world of the Monster High franchise featuring high-fashion ghouls in a haunted cabin that harbors a terrifying secret.

Monster High students Draculaura, Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, and Cleo rent a haunted cabin for the weekend for a much-needed break from school. No stranger to hauntings, these ghouls can’t wait for a weekend full of equal parts scares and relaxation. So they’re disappointed to find a cabin that’s remarkably ordinary: “It’s giving shabby. Not spooky.” Cleo and Clawdeen set about redecorating, adding mummy-cloth spiderwebs and ripping the curtains. While exploring, Draculaura and Frankie strike gold—a room full of skeletons, macabre books, and mysterious objects. The room even contains a combooter (a slim, silver laptop with a pumpkin silhouette logo) that’s open to a video essay about Ekhidna, a rogue Titan with the ability to steal abilities from monsters and give them to wild animals. Ekhidna was imprisoned deep in the woods, and a cabin was built on top of the site—the same cabin, it turns out, where the teens are spending their weekend. Nalty’s rich, autumnal color palette for the background scenes stand in stark contrast to the fashionable girls, who wear a range of vivid colors. All the characters are meticulously and distinctly rendered in Liao’s illustrations, which include small accessories and highly detailed fabrics. The characters feature a variety of skin tones, both real-life and fantasy-world.

A spooktacular Halloween comic for longtime fans and new readers alike.
