ART OF DARKNESS – a graphic novelette

Coming soon…

ART OF DARKNESS – A graphic novelette by Greg Chapman (self-published, 2026)

SYNOPSIS:

An artist grieving the loss of his wife and unborn child, finds his existence falling into despair – until a stone falls from the heavens onto his estate.

What appears to be a chance at salvation becomes a struggle with cosmic forces in which the artist’s very soul teeters between acts of creation and destruction.

—————————————————————-

ART OF DARKNESS is a self-published graphic novelette by Bram Stoker Award finalist and Australian Shadows Award-winning author, Greg Chapman.

“A gorgeously dark fever dream of a tale that burns with the cruel loneliness of grief, artistic desire, and the dangers of a heart yearning for the impossible sublime. Art, loss, cosmic horror, Chapman has created a graphic novel of dread and terrible beauty that rises in your mind like an exquisite nightmare born from the deepest recesses of the subconscious.” Trent Jamieson, author of Day Boy and The Stone Road

“Greg Chapman’s Art of Darkness is a potent and horrifying examination of the responsibilities of the artist, asking if we control our art or if it controls us. Just be prepared to be unsettled by the answer offered in this beautiful, deeply-felt work.” – Lisa Morton, six-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author

Special thanks to Trent and Lisa for their testimonials.

The graphic novelette will be available very soon.
