The creator of Kingdom of Blood has some special rewards for Horror Society readers that help fund his project! Read more info below and help Robert out!
Kingdom of Blood follows the journey of the Sisters of Silence, three mysterious beings with the ability to subdue a hidden, terrifying evil. But a bloodthirsty general and his army are on their trail, wanting to obtain this power to obliterate the last kingdom of men.
From the creator:
Albert Einstein once said that the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
Horror. The supernatural. Fantasy.
I’ve always enjoyed tales set in these genres. They took me to strange new worlds filled with fantastic beings and creatures, and also helped me discover of bit of myself within each tale.
My name is Robert Geronimo. I am an independent comic creator. You might know me from my Little Maia series, which began as a Kickstarter project, and Agent 87 and the Black Train, a pulp adventure novel. Kingdom of Blood is a tale I’ve always wanted to tell. I’ve been developing this project for the past four months, and now it finally feels like the right time to launch it.
Kingdom of Blood will be a complete graphic novel that will mix history, religion, fantasy, and horror all in one nightmarish tale, told in eerie black and white illustrations. The book will have a gothic flair, merging my passion for art history, specifically works from the Medieval Period, with comic books. My intention for this project is to be the beginning of an anthology, with each volume telling a different tale in this dark universe.
As a sequential story, Kingdom of Blood is an intimate exploration into a nightmare world filled with monsters, warriors, magic, and blood! Death, danger, and madness lurk around every corner of this horrific world. My intention is to create an unnerving, hallucinatory pilgrimage of the human condition through roughness in line, composition, and character, all through the language of comics.
While the book will be written and illustrated by myself (@rgeronimoart), I’m thrilled to be teaming up with award-winning letterer, Thomas Mauer (@thomasmauer). His credits include Image Comics, BOOM! Studios, and First Second.
We’d love it if the Horror Society community could help us grow Kingdom of Blood into a series. Help us reach $4,000 and we’ll send every Horror Society reader who pledges, an original art card with an exclusive Kingdom of Blood illustration. Just mention Horror Society on the comment page or in a private message after you donate to get your reward!
