High Strangeness Book Two: 1975 Issue
Inspired by firsthand accounts of paranormal encounters, Oni Press’ startling five-part experiment in comic book storytelling continues with an enthralling new 40-page chapter from SpectreVision co-founder and real-life experiencer Daniel Noah, acclaimed writer Zac Thompson (Cemetery Kids Run Rabid), and fast-rising star Noah Bailey (Station Grand, Double Walker) diving headlong into the dimly lit borderlands of human experience, where overlapping phenomena like UFOs, hauntings, and inexplicable synchronicities indicate a higher, unseen order of reality . . . A prison-transfer bus has just crashed on an isolated forest road in Washington state in the deep winter, sending the lone survivor, inmate Elwood Krieger, running into the woods. When he encounters and fights off a mysterious creature, he finds he’s accidentally killed a juvenile Sasquatch. Barely escaping the wrath of its grieving mother, Krieger starts a new, secret life in a nearby community, hoping to stay under the radar of the law. But when the mother discovers him and the woman loves, Krieger is faced with much harder decisions than fight or flight . . . The next extra-sized, ad-free, prestige-format installment of HIGH STRANGENESS also includes an all-new nonfiction essay charting the ever-evolving history of the Sasquatch phenomenon by researcher and podcast host Jim Perry (Euphomet).

High Strangeness: Book Two: 1975
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This second installment in Oni Press’ paranormal experiment starts strong, weaving together UFOs, hauntings, and cryptid lore with a chilling prison-bus crash that leaves inmate Elwood Krieger face-to-face with a juvenile Sasquatch. The setup is gripping—claustrophobic winter woods, a desperate fugitive, and the eerie collision of myth and reality.
But while Zac Thompson, Daniel Noah, and Noah Bailey deliver atmosphere and tension in spades, the narrative loses its footing by the end. What begins as a sharp, unsettling exploration of survival and secrecy drifts into muddled territory, leaving the climax less impactful than the premise promised.
The bonus essay by Jim Perry on the evolving Sasquatch phenomenon adds depth and context, grounding the comic’s surreal elements in real-world folklore. Still, the overall issue feels uneven: compelling in its opening beats, but ultimately unable to sustain its momentum.
A fascinating concept with flashes of brilliance, but the execution stumbles in its final act. Worth reading for fans of cryptid horror and experimental comics, though it may leave you wishing for a tighter landing.
Happy reading from the Void 👣❄️📚
