Dwellings, the horror series by Jay Stephens (Epitaphs from the Abyss) is making its return in October 2024 with Dwellings: All Hallows’ Eve Special #1. The Halloween special will be followed by the new limited series Dwellings: Second Stories #1 in 2024.
The 40-page Halloween special follows Wolfgang LeGant, a newcomer to Elwich, who thinks that he is a vampire hunter. While on his mission, he meets Emmaline Momenta, who believes that she’s a real vampire, and his belief in his abilities could be the one thing that’ll stop a mass murder.
“This standalone story brings us back to the haunted streets of Elwich for a tale about a tall, dark, and handsome visitor hellbent on hunting down the monsters who hide in the town’s shadows,” Stephens said. “Set in the tightknit underground ‘Sangunarian’ Elwich goth scene, ‘Come Hither’ flips the classic bloodsucker tale in its grave, as a delusional, self-proclaimed ‘vampire hunter’ seduces the black-clad youth one by one in order to lay them to rest for eternity. Happy Halloween, Dwellers!”
Dwellings: All Hallows’ Eve Special #1 comes with standard and “skeletonized” covers by Stephens, plus a variant by Katie Skelly (Twisted Romance).
“And, wait – what’s this?” Stephens said. “The Elwich Society of Psychical Research is receiving a message from the other side – yes, it’s clear now. The spirits want you to know that Dwellings will return in late 2025 with an all new, four issue miniseries. That’s right, more gory standalone tales of adorable terror set in the town of Elwich! Dwellings: Second Stories builds atop the bones of the original series with four new harrowing stories of psychological arthouse horror drawn like old Casper the Friendly Ghost comics. Come get possessed once again by the creeping ghosts of Elwich. Come home to stay.”
Dwellings: All Hallows’ Eve Special #1 will be in comic shops on October 9.
