The Curse: Spiritual Grimdark Horror Graphic Ballad

By Alexander Gabriel Zoderot

Book Overview

They burned his world to silence-and from that silence, something rose.

Drakko carried only the quiet hopes of an ordinary life.
Once a farmer's son and humble apprentice of the long-forgotten spiritual arts, Drakko sought only a quiet hearth. With his wife expecting their long-dreamed child, he vows to lay down the sword after one last job.

But the man he is sent to kill-the man he was always destined to meet-breaks that vow before it can be kept.
The Dark One whispers of a fate only the free, the liberated, the awakened can comprehend.

A gift is given. The last is never the last.

Driven again by the merciless necessity of a cruel world, Drakko must act-act and watch as the life he built turns betrayed and broken, leaving nothing of the man who began the journey.

Out of betrayal. Out of loss. Out of unquenchable rage-something other awakens; someone other is born.

Because after all is stripped away-after all is but mere ashes, what is it that remains? Who is it, that remains?

The Curse is neither a simple graphic novel nor an ordinary comic.
Told in poetic, hallucinatory verse and dark prose, wrapped in gothic imagery that breathes like midnight scripture, it fuses what should never meet-spiritual transformation with the brutality of a ruthless world; despair with wisdom; betrayal with otherworldly rage.

For those who have walked the well-trodden paths of Berserk, The Sandman, Monstress, or The Crow, this dark fantasy graphic novel opens a different gate-inviting you to bleed with its pages and uncover the hidden wisdom buried in shadow.
