Superstar Horror Writer Stephen Graham Jones and Denver Post bestseller Joshua Viola Conclude True Believers

Posted on by

Stephen Graham Jones and Joshua Viola are returning to the deadly world of their comic book series True Believers for a frightening grand finale. The star-studded, blood-soaked, final issue features appearances by Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, Re-Animator and From Beyond stars Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs, and fan-favorite musician and Bit Bot Media co-founder Klayton of Celldweller. True Believers #3 – Slashfest is available from Bit Bot Media, featuring art by Ben Matsuya, letters by Jeremiah Lambert, four variant covers from acclaimed horror artist Matthew Therrien, and a  main cover by Lambert and Matsuya.

Previous issues of True Believers featured some of the biggest names in horror — iconic actress Jamie Lee Curtis, the band GWAR, bestselling novelist R.L. Stine, screenwriter and film director Jeffrey Reddick (Final Destination), musician Matthew Kiichi Heafy, actor Devon Sawa, and the characters from the cult horror film Deathgasm.

After the first issues of True Believers introduced fans to the bone-chilling slasher character, Killr™and an obsessive fan who wreaked havoc at the real-life Colorado Festival of Horror, True Believers #3 – Slashfest once again pits con-goers against another masked menace who takes their devotion to the cult slasher franchise Killr™ far too seriously. But is this just a cosplayer, or someone from the past with deadlier intentions? True to its bloody roots, the issue promises outrageous kills, tongue-in-cheek gags, meta Easter eggs, and enough gore to satisfy even the most die-hard horror fan.

The year is 2112, and it’s the apocalypse exactly as expected: rivers receding, oceans rising, civilization crumbling. Humanity has given up hope, except for a group of Indigenous outcasts who have discovered a time-travel portal and figured out where everything took a turn for the worst: America. Convinced that the only way to save the world is to rewrite its past.

Join writer Stephen Graham Jones and artists Davide Gianfelice, Riccardo Burchielli, Patricio Delpeche, and Emily Schnall in this epic that collects all three volumes of Earthdivers (Vol. 1: Kill Columbus, Vol. 2: Ice Age, and Vol. 3: 1776) into one omnibus.

Scare Up the Vote Unites the Horror Community

Posted on by

“These are scary times,” says Tananarive Due, the American Book Award-winning author of The Reformatory and the driving force behind ScareUpTheVote, an effort to bring the all-stars of horror fiction and film together in support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Scare Up the Vote brings together voices across generations, diverse backgrounds and beliefs to unite the horror community for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. 

In scary times, people need to pull together in strength and hope, to fight the darkness. Horror writers and filmmakers spend a lot of time contemplating monstrosity and thinking about fear. When I realized we had to speak out as a community, and began to invite others to participate, I wasn’t at all surprised by the massive response. We know what the stakes are in this election because we’ve imagined the worst possible outcomes.
–Tananarive Due

On October 15th, at 8pm Eastern time, Due and the rest of the Scare Up The Vote committee will host a massive online event to drive voter turnout and to raise money for the Harris/Walz campaign. Stephen King, Joe Hill, Rachel Harrison, Victor LaValle, Stephen Graham Jones, and many other authors will be joined by filmmakers including Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep), Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, The Black Phone), Kevin Williamson (Scream), Don Mancini (Chucky), and Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery), along with actor David Dastmachlian (Late Night with the Devil).

The two-hour-plus event will include the guests talking about their love of horror stories alongside their thoughts about why the upcoming election is important to them and will stream live on October 15th. 

Due’s co-hosts and fellow committee members are authors and poets Linda A. Addison, Maxwell I. Gold, Christopher Golden, and Cynthia Pelayo with production managed by Robb Olson.

In 1776, Emily’s mission starts to take shape as she finds an ally in Benjamin Franklin and the two begin working together to eliminate targets. Emily hopes that will be enough to finally change history once and for all in the way intended. However, there are more enemies in 1776 than there are allies, and Emily is about to be sorely reminded of that fact.

Yellow Kid is on the run from Martin, who is desperate to know what happened to his children. Yellow Kid knows the truth, but before he can get too far, he runs across an old friend in the strangest way possible. Back in 1776, Emily has revealed her true identity as a time traveler from the year 2112, her well-being in danger, her mission on the verge of absolutely collapsing in on itself and having effects on the timeline she couldn’t have imagined.

“The pen is mightier than the sword.” Nice sentiment, but change of plans. When a new obstacle threatens to undermine the connection Emily has built with Benjamin Franklin-and all the progress she’s made toward changing the future-she adopts some moves from Tad’s playbook and starts spilling blood in 1776. And speaking of Tad? Back in 2112, Sosh and Yellow Kid discover that it might be more than just his legacy that lives on…

Emily’s plan to infiltrate the Founding Fathers, influence monumental edits to the Declaration of Independence, and reverse the American-bred 21st-century apocalypse is off to a surprisingly smooth start after Benjamin Franklin himself takes her under his wing. But revolution is still brewing in the streets of Philadelphia, and when Emily catches wind of a royalist plot, she’ll need to think on her feet to use it to her advantage before it hijacks her only opportunity to change the course of history and save the world. It’s not too late to join or die!

A team of time traveling Indigenous survivors had one goal: save the world from an American apocalypse by sending one of their own on a suicide trip to kill Christopher Columbus and course-correct world history. Mission accomplished? Maybe not. Blood is still soaking into the sands of San Salvador as Tad’s friends suffer the consequences of his actions-and their own slippery moral rationalizations-620 years in the future. Faced with a choice to watch the world crumble or double down on their cause, the path is clear for Seminole two-spirit Emily: it’s personal now, and there’s no better time and place to take another stab at America than Philadelphia, 1776. But where violence just failed them, she has a new plan: pass as a man, infiltrate the Founding Fathers, and use only wit and words to carve out a better future in the Declaration of Independence. No need to cut throats this time… right?
