Thanks for stopping by our booth today, and for coming here to check things out at a more leisurely pace. We’re always thrilled to meet potential new readers intrigued by our range of dark-fantasy titles, and hope we can add you to our growing fan base.
If you’re here because you spoke with me at the show, then go ahead and download the Saga of Pandora Zwieback #0 free digital comic. I told you about. (Those of you who may not have spoken with me are, of course, free to do the same.) Not only is it an introduction to teenaged monster-hunter-in-training Pandora Zwieback and her world, hosted by Pan herself, but it contains two sample chapters from her critically acclaimed first novel, Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1. Give it a read; even if you’re not into young adult books, I think you’ll enjoy meeting Pan.
Written by Steven A. Roman (that’s me!), Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1 is the critically acclaimed novel that begins Pan’s story, explaining how she, her parents, and her friends are drawn into a conflict among warring vampire clans searching for the key to an ultimate weapon (or so the legend goes)—a key that just so happens to have been delivered to the horror-themed museum owned by Pan’s father. It’s a character-driven action-fest that leads immediately into the second novel: Blood Reign: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 2, in which Pan faces even greater challenges as the clans draw up plans to go to war with humanity. Leading the charge is a fallen angel named Zaqiel, whose previous attempt at subjugating the world was stopped by Pan’s monster-hunting mentor, Annie—who, back in the day, was Zaqiel’s lover!
But StarWarp Concepts isn’t just a publisher of young adult novels. We also specialize in illustrated classics (J. Sheridan’s Le Fanu’s vampire romance, Carmilla; Edgar Rice Burroughs’s A Princess of Mars; The Brothers Grimm’s Snow White); graphic novels for superhero fans (Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings) and adult horror aficionados (Lorelei: Sects and the City); digital and print comic books (The Saga of Pandora Zwieback Annual #1, The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special, Heartstopper: The Legend of La Bella Tenebrosa, Lorelei Presents: House Macabre); artist sketch collections (The Bob Larkin Sketchbook); and writer reference works (our upcoming Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination). And we’ve got even more exciting projects in the works!
