Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book and graphic novel publisher is proud to announce LAMENTATION #1 (of 3) – the first of three DOUBLE-SIZED, 48-PAGE issues returning Oni legend and master of horror Cullen Bunn (THE SIXTH GUN, Harrow County, Basilisk) to his roots alongside rising star Arjuna Susini (MADE MEN) for a darkly glamorous tale of bone-splintering terror at the intersection of shadow and light… dream and nightmare… life and the grim specter of Death himself.

After weeks of grueling rehearsals, a new production is set to begin at the famed Requiem Theatre: Razide’s Lament, three acts of gothic horror set inside a haunted castle…with a story that some say is more than mere fantasy. Under the stern rule of a dedicated but temperamental director, the script seems to be ever-changing, and, more mysterious still, our lead actress has found herself cast in the role of a lifetime without so much as an audition. Her grand debut is fast approaching–and, with it, a barrage of razors in the night that will terrorize audiences and actors alike. There is no exit, no escape, and when the curtain finally rises, Razide himself will take center stage to cross the threshold into the unholy darkness that lies just beyond…
