Prepare To Be ‘Shook!’ By 13 Funkdafied Tales Of Terror Next February
by Brendan M. Allen
Dark Horse Comics and Second Sight Publishing are teaming up to deliver Shook! A Black Horror Anthology. This collection boasts more than 200 pages of dread, brought to life by Black writers and artists, including David Walker and John Jennings.
Stemming from a love of Southern Gothic horror, this anthology dives deep into the grotesque and fearsome world of the supernatural. Here’s a sneak peek at the chilling stories that lurk within:
The Last March: Set in a graveyard in the old south, a group of klansmen attempt a lynching and get more than they bargain for from their intended recipient. Story by Rodney Barnes with art by David Brame.
Tasty Itchy: In a post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors searching for food must get home before the sun goes down to avoid a bigger threat than hunger. Written by Bradley Golden and art by Flavio Cortés.
Collection editor and COO of Second Sight Publishing Marcus Roberts says, “The Shook! project is a collaboration between John Jennings, Bradley Golden, and myself who all hail from the south. John and Bradley are from Mississippi, and I am originally from Georgia. Our brand of horror has been called Southern Gothic horror and this has been in the making for two years.”
Sit back and follow along on this journey of terror, suspense, nightmares, and the darkest depths of fear. Shook! A Black Horror Anthology will be available for $24.99 in bookstores February 28, 2024 and comic shops February 29, 2024.
