Every two weeks we do a spotlight on authors and clients we’ve worked with. This week, we’d like to introduce Brian Barr.
An author, comic book writer, artist, and musician, I can’t help to feel a bit of kinship. Those are all quality tastes to have. Why? Because those are also all the things I enjoy. Like, I play music and love all those things. Comics are literally the thing that led me to reading literature and writing novels. They taught me the fundamentals of storytelling and art. Cover art straight up became my job. I haven’t written for comics outside of middle school so I’m super jealous. Wtf this guy does everything.
So, I’m really honored to have one of my works alongside his. He also doesn’t know that he shared a song on Facebook once from The Whispers (Rock Steady) that took me through a nostalgic childhood flashback and claimed a favored spot in my work routine soundtrack. That song is so goddamn good.
Anyway, Brian is great and let’s take a look at his book.
You can find Brian’s book HERE.
From the book’s description:
Brian Barr’s King in Yellow collection explores the KIY mythos of Robert W. Chambers in four stories. Mixing occult horror and science fiction, these tales follow scholars, magicians, astronauts, and scientists as they encounter the terrifying mysteries of Carcosa and its malevolent pallid monarch.
