I’m super-proud to have worked with Christopher Sequeira and a bunch of talented writers and creatives to help birth this baby. Nosferatu Unbound! Coming soon. And wait until you see the fantastic B&W frontispiece and back piece by the uber-talented Dillon Naylor! Brilliant cover art by Chantal Handley and fabulous design by Greg Chapman! Thanks to Gerry Huntman and IFWG Publishing.
My publisher says:
IFWG is very pleased to reveal the cover of Nosferatu Unbound, edited by Steven Paulsen and Christopher Sequeira, and consisting of a stellar array of writers. The superb cover art is by Chantal Handley and the atmospheric cover design is by Greg Chapman. Those who will purchase this upcoming title will also have the added pleasure of seeing two internal art pieces by the very talented Dillon Naylor.
Nosferatu began his reign of stark, silent, chiaroscuro terror over the public consciousness in 1922, when he first crawled onto cinema screens. No glamourous, cultured European vampire like the literary gothic titan whose legend he was trying to usurp. No: he was a thing of blade-like, angled animal talon and fang; hideous by any measure.
Inspired by F. W. Murnau’s masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema, supported by Max Schreck’s sinister portrayal of Nosferatu – an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula – this book presents a powerful collection of fiction by some of the best voices in contemporary horror. Look inside and be astounded.
Alongside these amazing new stories of Graf Orlok, Nosferatu, you will find an important account by Dacre Stoker, revealing for the first time the damaging impact the illicit breaching of the DRACULA copyright had on the Stoker family, and Dracula Society member Julia Kruk provides a tour of the actual locations – which still stand – where the 1922 classic was filmed.
Nightmare awaits within; as silent as death.
