One of the highlights of last weekend's fest was meeting author Craig Hurd-McKenney, author of Curse of Dark Shadows, last year's graphic novel continuation of the series from Hermes Press, and artist Jok. I have been dying to meet them both, and they are SO VERY OF THE NICE. And generous! I mentioned that I had pre-ordered the CoDS revision that will be released this fall, and Craig asked me who my favorite character was. I told him Angelique, and he whipped out his phone, called up a photo of Ang from 1897, and Jok zapped me up a GORGINTA sketch. Y'all, it took him, like, five minutes or less. And it's the coolest thing ever.
See for yourselves:
I will frame this and hang it in my writing room.
(And, as you doubtless know by now, there will be a sequel coming ... Fall of Dark Shadows! And you can pick up your CoDS revision here!)
