HOUSE OF WHISPERS VOL. 2: ANANSE

Once the first six issues — one a month — of “House of Whispers” was published, DC’s Vertigo Publishing contracted for six more, to complete a full year’s story arc. Dan Watters and I plotted and co-wrote all six issues of House of Whispers: Ananse, with Domo Stanton remaining on as the artist/inker for the pages between the covers. This volume collects issues 7-12 of the monthly comic.

From the publisher’s description: The pandemic is spreading, and Erzulie is calling upon all her distant contacts to aid her in stopping Shakpana and his infection.

The souls trapped in the Dreaming are restless, seeking any help they can attain to escape from their "predeceased" state. Erzulie calls upon the spider-god of stories, Anansi, to assist her in unraveling the truth behind her own history. But can Anansi be trusted with any truths he finds?

Written by Nalo Hopkinson, award-winning author of Brown Girl in the Ring and Midnight Robber, and Dominike "DOMO" Stanton, artist of the acclaimed Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
