Set in the new future, drenched in pastels and sunshine, LONELY RECEIVER is a horror/breakup story in five parts. Written by Zac Thompson (UNDONE BY BLOOD, THE REPLACER, HER INFERNAL DESCENT, No One’s Rose, X-Men) and illustrated in color by Jen Hickman (MOTH & WHISPER, Test).
Key Selling Points
Psychological thriller asks tough questions about how we define ourselves in relationships and how we lose parts of ourselves to others.
Fantasy treatise that boldly goes where society is already headed – straight to the heart of our relationships with our phones.
Given the unexpected new reality that so many are living in, a horror romance about a person who lives/works by themselves and the deep relationship they develop with her phone – and the aftermath of the breakup of that relationship – is incredibly timely and relevant.
Confronts the fetishization of voyeurism, violence and manipulation, laying bare the psychology behind how far we’re willing to go to please ourselves in a space where nothing is off limits
