Reviews

I think it’s kind of amusing that my short story compilation “Down Highways in the Dark…By Demons Driven” had a 4-star rating where the reader deducted one star for the stories being too terrifying. Here is a snippet of the review

However, my criticism regarding this book is its overpowering dark tone accompanied by unsettling plot elements throughout the story. Although Wendy was certainly a standout character who demonstrated her unwavering courage throughout it all; frequent encounters involving supernatural creatures resulted in distress at times while reading about them due to how graphically depicted they were made out by Dan Henks – although captivating this is not recommended if you are sensitive.

Therefore rating this book a 4-star seems appropriate given its awe-inspiring narrative but i recommend for only readers interested in horror fiction/novels or Nightmare-driven stories.

New art for Video Game

Inked two more and slightly reworked two of the first four images for this European game Dark Waters. The designer asked that I make them a little simplier and sketchier than normal. They will be visible on cards collected throughout the game.
