Hunting Monsters in the Dreamscape

• The Story: Meet Stetson, a nightmare hunter with a unique—and dangerous—specialty. She enters the dreams of the sleeping to hunt down the monsters that haunt them. But when a series of bizarre murders occurs in the waking world, it appears a new kind of predator has emerged: one that kills in the dream and the reality simultaneously.

• Cinematic Pedigree: Tyler Burton Smith brings his experience in horror and action films to the page, delivering a narrative that feels like a blockbuster movie with tight pacing and inventive scares.

• Explosive Visuals: Vanessa Cardinali’s art is a revelation, utilizing a frantic, expressive style and an eye-popping color palette to bring the chaotic landscapes of the subconscious to life.

• Dark Humor & Grit: While the stakes are life-and-death, the series maintains a cynical, witty edge that grounds the supernatural elements in a relatable, hard-boiled detective vibe.
