BOO! Jay Stephens’ DWELLINGS: ALL HALLOW’S EVE SPECIAL Tricks and Treats into Comic Shops Everywhere October 30th!

TRICK OR TREAT! LIVE OR DIE! Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to unveil the first look inside DWELLINGS: ALL HALLOW’S EVE SPECIAL #1 – coming to comic shops everywhere on October 30th! Emmy Award–winning, Eisner Award–nominated comics master Jay Stephens (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss) captures the Halloween spirit in all of its blood-spattered, candy-colored glory in the first-ever standalone, double-sized DWELLINGS special out October 30th. . . before the series makes its much-demanded return with DWELLINGS: SECOND STORIES in 2025!

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. “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.”

Featuring standard and “skeletonized” covers by Stephens himself, alongside a variant cover from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Katie Skelly (Twisted Romance, Nurse Nurse), the multiple Ringo Award-nominated sensation returns October 30th with 40 pages of all-new content in the DWELLINGS: ALL HALLOW’S EVE SPECIAL #1!
