A Darkness creeps through the forest, its tendrils corrupting all that it touches. The trees are not safe, the elk are in danger, and the King of the Forest must act. A blue boy emerges from his mighty chest; their hope lies with him. But the Darkness is cunning and though it cannot kill him, it taints the boy, trapping him beneath ice and snow. He is lost - lost to his people, to his herd, and lost to the land.

My third graphic novel, The Shadow Beast, has launched. It’s in the style of a Grimm-Anderson fairytale wrapped in gorgeous artwork.

Interview: Chani Petro, "Four Arms" - Comics on Kickstarter

As often as I can, I will try to bring you short interviews with people who are creating comics and doing everything they can to show their work to the world.

Today I spoke with Chani Petro about her project Four Arms, currently funding on Kickstarter.

Interview below.

In the style of old-school fables comes the tale of a girl whose inner demons literally sprout from her sides.

FOUR ARMS is written in the style of old-school fables, where there may not always be a happy ending and brutality seeks to teach a lesson.

A girl is driven away from the family farm into the dark woods where her inner demons literally sprout from her ribcage. Lost in the forest with horrors at her side, the girl begins to lose hope as the arms mislead and poison her. But she finds that she is not completely alone and help arrives in the shape of a guiding wolf.

A battle of influence begins between the manifested limbs and the wolves of the forest. The girl must learn that often it is more painful to stay the same, than it is to change. But she can only be shown the way, and if the girl does not choose wisely, she risks becoming lost in the forest forever, a prisoner to her demons or worse…

Only through sacrifice, trust, and perseverance can the girl escape from the woods and her demons.

Written by Chani Petro & Illustrated by Vilde D. Ulriksen

Chani’s already reached (and exceeded!) her Kickstarter goal, but I feel like what she’s creating should be shared with as many people as possible. Trying to publish a book that doesn’t fit into a cookie-cutter genre shouldn’t be as difficult as it is, and I would LOVE to see more of this style!
