Seance in the Asylum

In 1865, as the Civil War concludes, The Ashcroft Hospital asylum overflows with mentally shattered soldiers. Dr. John James Templeton, driven by a radical theory, explores spiritualism as therapy, seeking to unlock the minds of his patients with the aid of the other side. He brings in Alicia Wilkinson, a gifted medium haunted by her past, to conduct séances. These sessions evolve into spectral therapy, allowing patients to communicate with spirits to confront their maladies.

But the experiment takes a dark turn as patients exhibit disturbing changes, seemingly possessed. Templeton's success spirals into a dangerous situation, and Alicia must unravel the mystery behind the patients' transformations before it's too late. Written by Clay McLeod Chapman and illustrated by Leonardo Marcello Grassi, this collection of issues #1-#4 weaves a chilling tale of reality, madness, and the supernatural.
