A FLESH AND BLOOD horror teaser trailer is now available for viewing on YouTube! It is produced and directed by Robert Tinnell, the talented writer/director who wrote the epic new graphic novel series to be published by MONSTERVERSE and featuring the greatest icons of horror!

The stunning cover for FLESH AND BLOOD is by the universally praised horror artist Dan Brereton (NOCUTURNALS).
Brereton's beautiful painting is a perfect match for the superb work exhibited inside the first volume of MONSTERVERSE's FLESH AND BLOOD, a four-book new series of horror graphic novels written by Robert Tinnell and illustrated by Neil D. Vokes (THE BLACK FOREST and THE WICKED WEST). Look for it to stalk comic shops and bookstores this Halloween.
This story for mature readers is the horror movie that you always wished to see but never knew it until this graphic novel was created. It ties all the terrifying action that genre fans love about iconic horror characters into one truly epic graphic novel series.
You can find an excellent interview with Robert Tinnell at ComicMonsters.com.
FLESH AND BLOOD's extraordinary artist Neil Vokes engages in a terrific Q&A at DREAD CENTRAL.
FLESH AND BLOOD Volume One begins with the bloody destruction of the legendary vampire, the darkly seductive Carmilla. Her death ignites an epic firestorm of events that draws the greatest icons of Gothic horror into battle across the lush backdrop of 19th century Europe. At the center of this ghastly conflict Baron Victor Frankenstein is forced to merge his diabolical scientific prowess with the black arts of a terrifying supernatural world. This unholy war between light and darkness will not be measured in months or years but across centuries of horror and devastation until one force reigns triumphant. Vampires, werewolves and scientific monsters are unleashed like nothing seen before in film, comics or literature.
As Amicus, Hammer, AIP and other studios enlarged upon the Universal horror canon bringing a sexier maturity to the world's most terrifying monsters along with a more realistic savagery to the violent action, FLESH AND BLOOD brings a modern update to these classic creatures. FLESH AND BLOOD is now available to pre-order at comic shops via Diamond Distribution in its JULY PREVIEWS magazine (Page 298 next to the Frank Miller's HOLY TERROR ad) with the following code:
