Description
From the creative team of GIDEON FALLS and PRIMORDIAL comes the first book in a bold and ambitious new shared horror universe! When a geologist is sent to a remote lighthouse to investigate strange phenomenon he finds a seemingly endless pit in the rocks. But what lurks within and how will he escape its pull?
THE PASSAGEWAY is the first of a dozen new interconnected projects making up THE BONE ORCHARD MYTHOS from LEMIRE and SORRENTINO!
The Bone Orchard Mythos is an ambitious expansion for the powerhouse creative team and will span multiple books and across a variety of different storytelling formats. Each title will tell its own unique, self-contained tale some as stand-alone hardcover graphic novels, some as miniseries comics, and some as longer format maxiseries comics but they will all be set within the same world and add to the overall Bone Orchard mythology.
The team plans to release at least two new titles each year, for the next several years. In Summer 2022 the horrors begin with a hardcover graphic novel titled, The Passageway which follows a geologist sent to a remote lighthouse to investigate a strange phenomenon. In 2023 Lemire and Sorrentino will follow up with a miniseries collection titled, Ten Thousand Black Feathers, and then another original graphic novel hardcover in 2023 titled Tenement.
Reviews
"One of the year's essential horror stories." -ScreenRant
"Sorrentino exhibits a mastery of illustrative technique, conveying creeping dread through oddly angular or looping layouts of overlapping panels, depicting unexpected details in the first half of this volume and later expressing cosmic terror with starkly realistic double-page depictions of inexplicable landscapes." -Library Journal
"Sorrentino's hyperrealistic, heavily photo-referenced art creates an eerie sense of heightened reality in which the crashing waves, looming lighthouse, and craggy faces of locals are as menacing as John's blood-drenched hallucinations. The page layouts disorient effectively, with panels forming concentric circles, or toppling vertiginously down the page, with the icy landscape perpetually hovering at the close of a fog-shrouded day." -Publishers Weekly
