Dark Apocrypha Presents

Some stories never die. They wait. Linger in the corners. Then one day pop back up like a jump scare. Dressed a little different but carrying the same hunger. This month, I’ve got something new on the shelves. Kolchak Meets the Classic Monsters. A world built on the bones of the legends we grew up with. The ones we were warned about. But secretly rooted for. I take on Dracula. Not the cape and candle version. Not the one that shows up in a Halloween aisle with a plastic smile.

SINS OF THE PAST DON’T STAY BURIED . . . THEY ALWAYS FIND A WAY OF RISING FROM THE GRAVE! Founded at the turn of the 20th century outside of Annapolis, Maryland, the Crownsville Hospital was a notoriously segregated, all-Black psychiatric institute. After decades of overcrowding and neglect—alongside darker, more-persistent rumors of patient abuse and illegal medical experiments—it was finally closed.

If you’ve been following me, then you already know I don’t believe in playing it small. But right now? I’ve never played it bigger. Three titles. Three distinct universes. Me operating at the height of my writing abilites. Let’s get into it. Pulp is alive and horror breathes again. Kicking it off with an exciting recent announcement. I’ve been tapped for the revival of the iconic pulp magazine Weird Tales.

The forthcoming graphic novel — a collaboration between myself, my good friend Jason Shawn Alexander, and Shaggy himself — spins a supernatural adventure that blends history, fantasy, music, and suspense.

The town of Barrow has moved on. Those who remember the vampiric terror of two decades past would rather not talk about it. Those who don’t remember don’t believe the stories. Ignorance will be their downfall, because a dark memory is stirring in the heart of Romania and it has set its sights on Barrow, the death place of Vicente. While vampires seek revenge for their fallen leader in Alaska, troubled teen Jalen James seeks sanctuary.

Words out! I’m teaming up with Panick Entertainment for a brand new horror-noir comic book called Last Words. Last Words is planned as a 4-issue horror comic book series following a down-on-his-luck detective whose latest case takes a supernatural turn: Detective Harry Gaines has nothing left but the job, and even that’s slipping away. Nearing retirement, Harry’s a relic: broken, depressed, and dismissed as a joke by his peers.

Founded at the turn of the 20th century outside of Annapolis, Maryland, the Crownsville Hospital was a notoriously segregated, all-Black psychiatric institute. After decades of overcrowding and neglect, alongside darker, persistent rumours of patient abuse and illegal medical experimentation, it was finally closed in 2004. Today, it stands condemned, a haunting reflection of the country’s past, and a reminder of the all-too-real terror inflicted on a marginalized and vulnerable community.
