We'll talk about the origins of the project, the unique blend of horror and emotion at its core, and why Damien's atmospheric artwork makes him the perfect collaborator for the story.We also look ahead to a new prose collection featuring one of Steve's signature creations, supernatural detective Cal McDonald.
