Heart in a Box isn't slated to hit stores until September, but that won't stop some intrepid young fans from getting a jump on the work by Kelly Thompson and Meredith McClaren. As a special advance look, Dark Horse will serialize
Heart in a Box in seven chapters over the next six weeks, with the first two chapters available now on
Dark Horse Digital. The first chapter is FREE for all users, and all subsequent chapters will be priced at an affordable $0.99.
“We couldn’t wait to share Heart in a Box with readers, so we’re very excited to get it out early through our digital platform,” said Dark Horse editor Brendan Wright. “Kelly and Meredith have created something truly special, and after fans read it digitally, they’re definitely going to want to have a copy for their shelf.”
In a moment of post-heartbreak weakness, Emma wishes her heart away, and a mysterious stranger—who may or may not be totally evil—obliges. But emptiness is even worse than grief, and when Emma learns that her heart can be regained piece by piece, she takes the strange bargain. But will the cost of her heart be her soul?
Heart in a Box goes on sale in stores September 29 for $14.99. It can be preordered now on
Amazon,
