Dwellings

A 2023 National Cartoonists Society Reuben Awards Comics Finalist

A 2024 ALA Best Graphic Novel for Adults

"The kind of nightmare horror fans won't want to wake up from." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Genuinely disturbing...if you feel brave, check it out." --The Toronto Star

"An absolute delight. Probably the most fun I've had while flinching squeamishly on the edge of my seat..." --BOING BOING

Welcome to Elwich--an oasis of small-town perfection, where the schools overflow with cheery-eyed children, lovingly adorned homes line the historic boulevards . . . and only the crows can see the deep, festering rot that lurks beneath the pristine surface.

Murder.
Demonology.
Possession.
Obsession.

Elwich has them all on offer--and behind every dwelling awaits a horrifying new story to be told.

Shock, terror, and wry humor pepper every page of Emmy Award-winning, Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist and animator Jay Stephens's Dwellings.
