A new Tech-Horror anthology is slated to drop this October from Mad Cave Studios, which aims to 'unplug the comforts of modern tech and expose the real cost beneath the surface'. Mark Russell (The Flintstones, Superman: Space Age) and Mad Cave Studios' CEO Mark London (Battlecats, Wolvenheart) will kick off this ongoing series featuring a revolving cast of artists and writers, with each issue delivering standalone stories. Power down your computers, turn off your phones, and hit your LCS on October 15th to pick up your copy!
Writer: Mark Russell
Artist: Felix Ruiz
In an age where technology intertwines seamlessly with our everyday lives, TERRORBYTES delves deeper into the shadows of our digital existence, exploring the uncharted territories of human consciousness shaped by technological evolution. This new series pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction, presenting stories that challenge the very essence of identity, morality, and reality in a hyper-connected world. In the first issue, a headset that lets users relive their greatest memories at the moment of their death extracts a brutal price.
“There’s never been more horror stories to tell than right now,” said Mark Russell. “Terrorbytes gives us the chance to tell some of these stories before they come true and to tell them in a futuristic science fiction setting that makes them seem avoidable. This is one of those series I feel lucky to work on because, if nothing else, it feels like therapy to me.”
“I’m thrilled to be part of this anthology series that explores the dark intersection of technology and humanity - and this series is going to be relentless,” said Mark London. “Working alongside Mark Russell and Mike Marts on these cautionary tales feels like we’re creating something truly relevant for our digital age, something that will genuinely disturb people in the best possible way. We’re not just telling stories here - we’re holding up a mirror to the technological nightmare we’re all living in, making readers question what we’ve already surrendered to our screens and smart devices without even realizing it. This is Black Mirror meets classic horror comics, and every page will stick with you long after you close the book. It’s going to be brutal, brilliant, and absolutely necessary. Readers won’t be able to look at their phones the same way again.
So log off. Terrorbytes #1 hits shelves in Fall 2025.
