As Lucifer's plan to kick-start the Armageddon blossoms its wicked fruit, these 13 new tales of terror peer into the lives of those both immediately and distantly affected by his diabolical scheme! Including a ruthless yet unsuspecting TV executive, a conniving rock star wannabe, a desperate abused teenager, a pair of star-crossed Mafioso lovers, and even the world's last ultra-hero who must choose - staying with the love of his life while the world goes to Hell (literally), or go fight the Great Cthulhu in a desperate (and most likely futile) attempt to save the remnants of humanity from being destroyed.
Dirk Manning best known as the writer/creator of NIGHTMARE WORLD, TALES OF MR. RHEE, FARSEEKER and the "Write or Wrong" column at www.Newsarama.com in which he details his journey from a wannabe comicbook writer to his rise as a published, spotlighted, award-winning and generally well-liked writer who has worked with over two dozen artists and across the globe.
As for Dirk Manning himself, he was born nine days late and has been trying to make up for the lost time ever since. He loves life but hates ninjas. Cthulhu is his homeboy. He's got soul but he's not a soldier. His two main vices in life are obscure occult reference books and female heavy-metal singers. He fears the toilet monster. He's experienced at least one ghost first-hand but still doesnt quite believe in them... yet. He watches very little TV and is 100% drug-free. Dirk Manning hates it when people talk about themselves in third-person. He only smiles in the dark. He puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter" Dirk Manning fights the good fight and never surrenders. What's most telling about this dapper fellow, though, is how the Boogeyman checks under his bed for Dirk Manning every night before he goes to sleep.
Believe it.
