Get Lost in the Fog with Dead Sky…

Fog: The Unsung Hero of Horror

Fog has always been horror’s unsung hero, an accomplice in creating atmospheric dread. Werewolves, vampires, and ghouls all find the fog to be a timeless ally, lurking menacingly in the shadows. This classic horror device draped old London in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1927 silent masterpiece, The Lodger. There, a Jack the Ripper-esque terror married cinematic art. Clive Barker also harnessed fog’s horror in the chilling lycanthrope tale “Twilight at the Towers”—a haunting nod to the power of atmosphere.

Mystical Tales in a Murky World

Now, Dead Sky Publishing presents The Order of The Circle. This eerie journey delves into magic, the occult, and revenge. Levi Cory pens this tale while Elisabeth Mkheidze paints the illustrations. Eva de la Cruz enriches the palette with vibrant colors, and María Letizia Mirabella breathes life into the lettering.

The story unfolds in 1952, caged by a sinister smog engulfing the city. People panic amidst spiraling crime, overwhelmed hospitals, and shuttered businesses. Dorothy Schafer seizes this opportunity for vengeance against The Circle—a coven of mages and witches protecting London since medieval times. The Circle condemned Dorothy’s husband to death, justice dealt by a demon dragging him to Hell. Seeking revenge, Dorothy embarks on a dangerous quest to forge a weapon that could battle The Circle…and confront Hell itself.

A Visual Feast for Horror Enthusiasts

Fog weaves through every page like a haunting symphony, more than mere scenery. Fans of horror will note a Hellraiser twist in the demon’s wrathful drag to Hell. In preview pages, it’s clear this isn’t just smoke and mirrors. Horror aficionados will savor every detail, uncovering hidden horrors within the fog.

The Order of The Circle promises to be a spellbinding graphic novel when it unfurls on February 18, 2025. As you flip through these pages, remember: the thicker the fog, the darker the secrets it conceals.
