New horror series to be published by
AAM/Markosia
AAM/Markosia, publishers of the hit
series Kong: King of Skull Island, Starship Troopers and
the critically acclaimedThe Boy Who Made Silence, announce the
launch of its newest series this coming December.
RITUAL is penned by acclaimed author and screenwriter Andy Briggs (Kong:
King of Skull Island, The Templar Chronicles: Heretic, Hero.com, Villain.net)
with atmospheric art from newcomer Shawn McCauley.
When
the sleepy Pennsylvanian town of Black Root is hit by a spate of bizarre
ritualistic slayings, reminiscent of the Salem Witch Trails. The FBI is drafted
in, but they have no idea that the supernatural killer is a long-dead witch
hunter with a perverse desire for revenge.
Publisher
Harry Markos explains, We've been working with Andy Briggs for a while now so
when he approached me about the possibility of developing some new properties I
jumped at the chance! Andy is incredibly talented and prolific with many
ongoing projects at the moment, including movies, TV and as a published author
of several books. I figured that he's worth getting involved with now rather
than wait until he has the sort of success that I firmly believe will come very
quickly. We managed to secure the services of upcoming artist Shawn McCauley
who has captured the mood perfectly with his distinctive style. This is one
property which I believe will take us another step closer to achieving our aims
as a publisher.
