WHITE BOAT

From the acclaimed team behind Detective Comics and Night of the Ghoul comes a modern horror classic!

White Boats are the mega-yachts that the super rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board one 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 reunites Scott Snyder, the visionary writer who redefined comic book dread with Wytches and brought Batman into a terrifying cerebral era, with modern noir master Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness!

For fans of HEREDITARY, THE HOST, JURASSIC PARK, and THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU.
