Jay Stephens’ Dwellings: All Hallow’s Eve Special arrives just in time for the big spooky night of fun at Oni Press.
This Halloween, return to the terrifyingly tranquil streets that Dwellings calls home—as seen through the eyes of visitor Wolfgang LeGant! But Wolfgang is no ordinary tourist: He’s convinced he’s actually a seasoned vampire hunter, and this delusion has drawn him to Elwich to drive a stake through the once-unassuming town’s thriving “Saguinarian” goth subculture. But when Wolfgang meets Emmaline Momenta, a young woman similarly possessed by the idea that she’s a real vampire, irrational faith may be the only thing capable of stopping a mass murder in the making . . .
“In each stand-alone Dwellings tale, I strive to summon the vibe of different styles of horror cinema that I grew up with,” said Jay Stephens in a press release from Oni Press. “This story ‘Come Hither’ has the taste of old Hammer Films’ Gothic sleaze with a whiff of Roger Corman’s off-brand literary cinema classics. It’s a flipped take of Dracula that also serves as a call back to the previous Dwellings comics… some familiar faces return… some for the last time.”
Dwellings: All Hallow’s Eve arrives on October 30, 2024.
