The River of Blood

THE RIVER OF BLOOD is a supernatural tale of high adventure and cosmic horror. The book is a full color, eighty-six page, stand alone original graphic novel. THE RIVER OF BLOOD is pulp horror and fantasy in the spirit of the works of Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft, and will appeal to fans of Conan the Barbarian, The CW series Supernatural, Michael Chrichton's Eaters of the Dead, and Mike Mignola's Baltimore series. 

996 A.D. Dark and mysterious forces plague the Volga River, the lifeline of medieval Russia. Countless ships vanish in the dead of night. Many others drift aimlessly down river, their decks stained with blood. Their crews…nowhere to be found. Some believe the river cursed, haunted by spirits of the damned. Powerless against this scourge, a small village enlists the aid of a band of warriors from the North. But as the Northmen sail down the river in search of the shadowy source of the terror, the cruelty and depravity they discover force them to question their values, their faith and the very nature of good and evil.
