The Never Dead

Beschreibung

As Rod Sterling famously said, "You unlock this door with the key to your imagination". Sixteen tales of horror and woe are ensconced here. A record played backwards opens a portal to a dimension of monsters. A victim of abuse exacts her revenge when her werewolf gene takes over at the next full moon. Skinheads try to kill a local kid, only to discover the horrible reality of what he really is. A father watches his son die in antipathy but evolves into an apocalyptic preacher as humanity descends into chaos. A cassette tape dropped by a local records store drives its listeners mad. And eleven more stories that harken back to the horror of old! The Tales From The Crypt, Outer Limits, Weird Tales; whispers of a reality that lies just beneath the surface of our mundane lives.

Autor

Dan's early career included a year and a half-stint drawing political cartoons for Madcap Magazine and illustrating underground projects such as Maximum Rock and Roll. In 1997, after struggling through a violent car crash and a knife fight with a crackhead that severed the tendon on his left thumb, he attended art school. Receiving some commercial and local gallery acclaim for his artwork, he moved to New York City in an attempt to kick-start an art career. Heavily immersing himself in the local hardcore scene, he produced artwork for the bands Shai Hulud, Indecision, Koshari, Unsound, Coalesce, Most Precious Blood, Locked in a Vacancy, Beyond Reason, and Zombie Apocalypse, not to mention various local record labels and venues. In 2000, he started tattooing, A year later, he was stricken with brain cancer. Three months after the surgery, he married fellow tattoo artist Monica Castillo. His work started appearing in both a growing number of tattoo magazines and more fine art-influenced tomes. Tragedy struck again in 2007, as his wife of 6 years, Monica Henk, was killed on a motorcycle by a hit-and-run driver. Despite extensive coverage in the local media and vigorous campaigns by both the tattoo and motorcycle communities, the culprit was never found. His first novel, The Black Seas of Infinity, was published by Anarchy Books in 2011, and he started an illustrated calendar featuring a variety of artists. Deadite Press released the first book with a cover by Dan, a novel entitled "The Sopaths" by Piers Anthony. A reissue of his debut novel was released by Permuted Press in April 2015, as well as a collection of his short stories entitled "Down Highways In The Dark...By Demons Driven" in August of the same year. He continued his work for independent magazines, doing art for Red Door Magazine, a slew of books by the imprint Out Of Step, and every issue so far of the British horror zine Splatterpunk.
