Whilst hiking through the woods alone, you take a moment to rest beneath a tree to escape the blazing heat. Soon you find yourself drifting off to sleep. But you’re not losing consciousness, you’re sliding deeper into it. You are about to experience an ‘Upwards Incursion.’
 
Equal parts daydream and nightmare, Upwards Incursion wrenches you from one sticky, nauseating experience to the next. A lone child catching fish encounters a bloodstained stranger being followed by a slow, peculiar looking pursuer. On a dark country road, a friend regales us with tales of her odd ex and the face she sees whenever she closes her eyes. Two sisters awake on a bus in the middle of nowhere to find they’re completely alone. An old man becomes infatuated with the two young trespassers he spies on the other end of his telescope. All this and more awaits you in Padraig Campbell’s debut comic collection.
