DSTLRY Announces ‘White Boat’ from Scott Snyder & Francesco Francavilla
Today, DSTLRY announced White Boat, a new horror series by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla coming March 2024. The publisher also announced two additional series today: Spectregraph and The Blood Brothers Mother.
From the publisher:
WHITE BOAT revolves around a titular mega-yacht that the super-rich use to traverse theglobe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board should be a dream come true...that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth?
“WHITE BOAT is by far my most ambitious and expansive deep dive into horror yet,” writer Scott Snyder explains. “Francesco and I are using DSTLRY’s oversized format to unearth a sprawling and terrifying mythology that spans oceans and continents.”
“I'm very excited to work with Scott and DSTLRY on a project with this scope," artist Francesco Francavilla continues. "It’s a rare story that balances claustrophobic psychological terror with global conspiracy. It’s simply epic; we can’t wait for you all to embark on this journey with us.”
