Emmy winning and Eisner nominated writer Jay Stephens (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss) is embracing the scary and sweet action of Halloween in the Dwellings: All Hallow’s Eve special. Published by Oni Press, this is the first standalone, double-sized Dwellings special. It arrives in October 2024.

“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,” per the description. “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 standalone Dwellings tale, I strive to summon the vibe of different styles of horror cinema that I grew up with,” Stephens said. “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 comes with standard and skeletonized covers by Stephens, plus a variant by Katie Skelly (Twisted Romance). The 40-page special will arrive in comic shops on October 30.
