Due out this February from DSTLRY, Through Red Windows sees Ram V teaming up with artist Joëlle Jones to tell a modern horror story that will "leave you guessing until the bitter end!"
"When ailing Plutocrat, Harlan Roderick, invites his young protégé Athul Laal to live at Roderick Place in downtown Manhattan, what Athul believes this to be his first step into the inner circle of the world’s elite, soon turns into a living nightmare. Athul discovers that Harlan and his illness are inextricably connected to the 73-story building, in which, behind each door, lie secrets and monsters from both Harlan and Athul’s own lives.
Lala’s ambition gets the better of him and the higher he climbs in the company (and the building!) the deeper and darker becomes the danger to his life….and maybe his soul.
THROUGH RED WINDOWS is a pulse-pounding thriller loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe but with a very modern twist. Not for the feint of heart!
Every single issue from DSTLRY is presented in our perfect bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. It’s the DSTLRY difference.
For fans of WALL STREET, SUCCESSION, THE GAME, and CHANNEL ZERO."
“THROUGH RED WINDOWS looks at old and obscene wealth as Eldritch Horror and bears witness to the terrifying and absurd lengths its apostles will go to, in its worship,” co-creator and writer Ram V explains. “It is the nature of accumulated wealth and also of late-stage capitalism to be entirely preoccupied with their own perpetuation. Beyond some sort of critical mass, I imagine, this self-perpetuation takes on a mind and existence of its own. Like some monstrous thing whose unfathomable lifetime is spent forcing humanity to exploit itself— sacrifice itself, in its name. Within this premise, I want to tell a story of choices, made in a world that indoctrinates its working youth to value profit and wealth perpetuation beyond all else. Will we end up on some cosmic balance-sheet? Or will we be saved by foolish things like love and relationships and guilt and hope?”
“Merging the messy visual tradition of horror with the austere, right-angle brutalist look of modern business has been an amazing challenge, and THROUGH RED WINDOWS is by far the most disturbing story I’ve ever illustrated,” co-creator and artist Joëlle Jones continues. “Ram and I are cultivating a new nightmare that I’ve deeply enjoyed channeling on the page.”
Through Red Windows #1 will be available on February 26th, 2025, and features covers from Joëlle Jones, Tula Lotay, and Francesco Francavilla. Check out our exclusive preview below and learn more at DSTLRY: https://dstlry.co/products/through-red-windows-1-jones-cover-a
