Latest Podcast!
Debuting a day early because I’m leaving tomorrow for the Toronto Convention, here is my latest episode of the podcast with the talented Jim Krueger. (Which he tells me is spelled like Freddy Krueger!) He’s worked for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, IDW, Image, and Dark Horse, on Hollywood Screenplays, and published text-centered (non-comic) books! We talk about everything he’s done so far, and his current project with Steve Aoki.

Email Campaign!
Next week is the debut of the Kickstarter campaign I’m holding to raise funds to promote my book. I’ve received some great reviews and even interest from a few streaming companies and I want to strike while the iron is hot!
For the next 5 days, I’ll be running a lottery to collect an email list for the Kickstarter.
All you need to do to enter is send me your email address to be on the list! Send it to danhenk@gmail.com!
After 5 days, the winner of the lottery gets an original brush and ink illustration, a signed hardcover copy of one of my books, one of my custom bookmarks, and one of my limited edition magnets!

Research!
Every time I write about a new location or an unfamiliar local, I try to visit it if possible. To get a feel for what being immersed in that terrain involves. It’s taken me to Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, Loch Ness, Berlin, Fort Bragg, West Point, Amsterdam, and far more!

Cosmic Horror comes Alive!
All the illustrations I’ve completed so far for my epic cosmic horror series!
Starting with my (now heavily revised and expanded ) first novel The Black Seas of Infinity, continuing in my also recently revised and expanded collection of vaguely related short stories “Down Highways in the Dark…By Demons Driven, and continued in my third novel (a more direct sequel to my first), The End of the World!

Skull Session 96
Canadian author Joseph and I talk about his new zombie book, and what makes a tired genre lively again. His connection was bad and I tried to weed out the multiple errors! You know, it seems like it’s always Canada..
just kidding, but maybe Soth Park was right!

The latest podcast with graphic novel writer and artist Derald is up!
Comic artist and writer Gerald Von Stoddard talks with me about the comic industry, and his new graphic novel Immortal Coil. The illustrations look great (and I’m pretty critical), the story sounds amazing, and Gerald was a lot of fun to talk to. Check out his Kickstarter and help him continue putting out great content! https://youtu.be/4wvIR9o_eos?si=x–wj2...

Some of these old magazine and comic book covers would make great tattoos. Anyone who would like to get one (or if you show me another one that looks awesome), I’ll hook up!
I’ll be at conventions or guest spots over the next few months in Toronto, Austin, Albany, and Detroit., and of course, I’m always here at the shop in New York.
