Logline:
“Mare Hollow: The Shoemaker” is a horror-centric graphic novel, which combines traditional elements of gothic horror, with newer ideas of cosmic horror, and renders the story in an art style reminiscent of 1930’s Disney animation to play up the idea of a peaceful town, and cute characters, being perverted by terrifying, other-worldly creatures.
Synopsis:
The Shoemaker leads a simple life, taking care of his cat, making shoes, and enjoying success with his business in his simple little home, in the town of “Mare Hollow.” The only thing it seems he could possibly want for is love, but when a beautiful woman, Ida, visits his shop, he may have just found it. It would seem the bright and peaceful town could almost be a little slice of heaven, if only there wasn’t something about “Mare Hollow” that carried a forbidding darkness. After all, the terrors of ones own nightmares can only go ignored for so long.

"Working with Scout has been incredible. They’ve given me resources and suggestions to really help guide my book to be the best it can be, but they do this in a way that never takes any control away from me or my vision. I’m happy to see the company has been growing so quickly, and I’m excited to have my work be part of that growth." - Jake Tacito (creator/writer/artist)
