Oni Press' Hobtown Mystery Stories series of graphic novels has developed a cult following in recent years, as these books essentially ask the question "What if Stranger Things were produced by A24?". These supernatural mystery tales all center around the small city of Hobtown, a place where cults, conspiracies, and curses are just a daily part of life.

With the third volume in the series, The Secret of the Saicer, out in bookstores and comic shops now, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of the book. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:

The Secret of the Saucer is written by Kris Bertin and drawn by Alexander Forbes, with colors by Jason Fischer-Kouhi. Here's Oni's official description of the book:

In Hobtown Mystery Stories: The Secret of the Saucer, the lines between conspiracy and reality become intertwined like never before during the town’s highly contested mayoral election. There’s the arrival of an unexplained, unidentified flying object, a chaotic and unhinged Ape Lord, and an outbreak of literal backward thinking. The high school Teen Detective Club should be at the forefront of the case but is rife with conflict and its own crisis of leadership as the sleuths become increasingly paranoid. Is there anyone they can trust?

“Imagine if A24 re-made Stranger Things and you begin to understand the ambition of the strange and surreal story that Kris Bertin and artist Alexander Forbes have undertaken,” said Oni Press Editor-in-Chief Sierra Hahn in a statement. “There’s a multi-generational mystery, a supernatural mini-man, and a ragtag group of teen detectives. I genuinely love this series. Hobtown Mystery Stories just might be the best-kept secret in comics. These graphic novels are a personal obsession for me and soon they will be for you, too.”

Hobtown Mystery Stories: The Secret of the Saucer is available in stores now. You can order a copy on Amazon.
