“I hate you!”
Words that launched 1,000 love stories. Yet while Hollywood churns out formulaic rom-coms, real love rarely follows a script.
That’s why movies like “Palm Springs” (94% on Rotten Tomatoes) and “The Big Sick” (98% on Rotten Tomatoes) hit different. They dare to show love’s messy reality – where sometimes “I hate you” is more honest than “I love you.”
Speaking of brutal honesty…
A bloodcurdling scream pierces the stillness of summer air, silencing even the cicadas. In a stately home in Constantinople’s city center, a mother weeps for her only son. The letter in her hand bears a royal seal – but rather than an honor, it’s a death sentence. Before dawn breaks, she must make an impossible choice to save him from a fate worse than death.
Behind the city’s majestic walls, something stalks the streets. When two boys discover ancient tunnels beneath a warehouse, only one emerges. His friend vanishes without a trace, leaving nothing but blood-slicked stones and the echoes of screams.
What turns a pampered Byzantine noble into the Ottoman empire’s most feared killer? And why, shortly after that night in the tunnels, does he never remove his mask?
Discover what stalks Constantinople’s shadows in this visceral new story: See teaser trailer here.
I’ve partnered with award-winning artists to bring this dark tale to life:
-
Aurelio Mazzara (whose originals sell for thousands)
-
Luciano Regazzoni (professor of comic art anatomy)
“This comic is cinematic, hella detailed, and makes me want to turn the page.” – Early Reader
“A sword and axe-filled epic in the tradition of Robert E. Howard. A blood-soaked masterpiece in the making!” – Aaron Sparrow, Comic Book Editor (Tokyopop, Blizzard Entertainment, Disney)
But don’t take their word for it. Judge for yourself. Here’s that trailer link again: https://talesofkhayr.com/untold-tragedy/
Update on the Launch: The presses are rolling! Books are on schedule to ship in early 2025, inshaAllah. Stay tuned—I’ll share the ordering link soon.
Until your nightmares begin,
Wes
P.S. I mentioned one of my artists is a professor of comic art anatomy. Previously, I didn’t even know comics HAD anatomy. Though I suppose that explains why Superman is always wearing his underwear on the outside….
