IDW Publishing To Release Richard Matheson's Hell House

Hell House, one of his undisputed horror classics.
Hell House is the tale of newspaper publisher Rudolph Deutsch, who is facing his impending demise. Deutsch hires a team of experts to help him learn the secrets of life after death. To do so, they must survive a night in Belasco House, a place known amongst the local townsfolk as Hell House!

2000 A.D.), with moody, detailed black-and-white art by Simon Fraser (
Judge Dredd),
Hell House is a four-issue bi-monthly aimed at Matheson readers and horror fans in general.
"There are very few horror writers today that can be described as masters among their peers, but Richard Matheson is one of them," IDW's Editor-in-Chief, Chris Ryall, stated. "And
Hell House is right up there with the scariest things he's ever written. Ian and Simon's adaptation is true to Richard's amazing prose while offering a visual take on the book that should blow people away."
Hell House is the second Matheson adaptation published by IDW Publishing, following the successful
I Am Legend hardcover collection. The first issue of
Hell House will hit stores in December.
