In a world where indie comic publishers are becoming obsolete and horror comics are shunned, Salazar, a mysterious reclusive comic writer, might be the only thing keeping Capitol Comics out of the gutter.
New York City, 1972, Carson is a comic book artist who is Salazar’s exclusive pencil and inker. All is not what it seems when writer and artist meet for the first time. Spirits become agitated in this supernatural noir thriller that is both haunting and evocative.
Will Carson and the writer keep their secrets hidden or will their muse be discovered and bring Capitol Comics crashing down?
This book gets into some graphic scenes and I really hope Tim had to do lots of research and didn’t know some of this from first hand experience.

This was such a fun, easy, read. It pulls you in and doesn’t let you go. The noir vibes, the call backs now and again to classic horror, the imagery of 70’s New York; it all just worked. Really loved this, along with all the other novellas in “my dark library.”
