Currently, our most popular titles are:
Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1: Steven A. Roman’s critically acclaimed novel is the story of a 16-year-old Goth girl who’s spent the last decade being treated for mental health problems because she can see monsters. It’s only after she meets a shape-shifting monster hunter named Sebastienne “Annie” Mazarin that Pan discovers she’s never been ill—her so-called “monstervision” is actually a supernatural gift that allows her to see into Gothopolis, the not-so-mythical shadow world that exists right alongside the human world. But before Pan can learn more about what she can do, she and her parents are drawn into a conflict between warring vampire clans that are 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. Her first adventure continues in Blood Reign: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 2 (on sale February 2nd) and concludes in the upcoming Blood & Iron: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 3.
Lorelei: Sects and the City: This critically acclaimed, Mature Readers graphic novel stars a soul-stealing succubus who finds herself in a life-or-death struggle with a cult of Elder God worshippers intent on summoning their demonic overlords to rule the world. At its heart, this tale is an homage to such 1960s and 1970s horror comics and movies as Vampirella, Son of Satan, Satana the Devil’s Daughter, Tomb of Dracula, The Devil Rides Out, and The Devil’s Rain, as well as H. P. Lovecraft’s classic C’thulu Mythos—but with a modern-day attitude. It’s written by Steven A. Roman, and features art by Eliseu Gouveia (Lady Death, The Phantom), Steve Geiger (Web of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk), and Neil Vokes (Fright Night, Flesh and Blood). Cover art is provided by the legendary Esteban Maroto (Vampirella, Zatanna, Lady Rawhide).
Carmilla: J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s 19th-century classic tale of love gone wrong. Laura is so desperate for a friend that when a young woman practically turns up on the doorstep of the castle owned by Laura’s father, she thinks her prayers for companionship have been answered. But as she comes to realize, Carmilla isn’t as interested in making friends as she is in spilling blood. Our edition contains six original illustrations done especially for StarWarp Concepts by the super-talented Eliseu Gouveia (Lorelei: Sects and the City).
