"A young girl with a black cat begins to suspect the innocuous beast is behind all her troubles: her parents' fighting, family plagues, and innumerable supernatural horrors. As she tries her best to rid herself of this creature, she discovers that maybe the cat is not evil after all and a greater terror may be behind these horrific events harming her life"--

A brand-new supernatural nightmare that's Junji Ito meets Hayao Miyazaki from the Eisner-nominated creators of Fear Case and Apache Delivery Service.

A young girl with a black cat begins to suspect the innocuous beast is behind all her troubles: her parents' fighting, family plagues, and innumerable supernatural horrors.

Hairball collects issues #1-#4 in a deluxe, hardcover die-cut format featuring faux cat fur. This is the latest release from Flux House Books, a new boutique imprint that will showcase the writing (and sometimes) art of acclaimed comics creator Matt Kindt. The imprint will offer crime, science fiction, horror, and humour stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Pornsak Pichetshote of The Good Asian praises Hairball as a horror story from Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins that leaves writers marveling at its innovation and execution, wondering both how it was achieved and why they didn’t think of it first.
