A British Twin Peaks?

If you love auteur‑driven films — handmade, strange, and too uncompromising for the multiplex —

THE CANCEL HAUS sits the same groove.

Issue 13 continues the cult‑film energy: bold choices, singular vision, and a world that rewards rereading.

👉 Explore the serial

“This is not a work for the squeamish, as HROGE masterfully blends elements of noir, crime, and murder into a captivating concoction. The series evokes the unsettling atmosphere of Lynchian narratives, while simultaneously channeling the visceral energy of Tarantino’s films. An undercurrent of morose mystery further heightens the intrigue.” — Frazer Brown

Digital or full‑colour, litho‑printed.

Created entirely by one artist over 15 years.

For lovers of stories with a bite.

Readers say:
Your multi-faceted narrative’s satire has been great fun to read, but your artwork is what really captivates me, so often reminding me of the unexpected spatial isolation/orientation that makes certain David Lynch shots so memorable.  SS, USA

This remains an unfathomable joy. Always slightly beyond definition yet always entrancing. GV, UK

“Reading this is serious business but I was enthralled
 a fascinating story that had me hooked from page one.

The art is solid and purposeful
 calm colours and beeeeeeautiful lettering
 a synergistic flow that’s hard to put down.”
