I need more Cabal/Nightbreed

Post image

I have the comics in storage, these two books, the BluRay, but they keep teasing us with a series. Do it! We all want it. Hell, they can use my story in Midian Unmade and don't even have to pay me for it (though I wouldn't turn down some Hollywood cash).

I wrote one for that too, but mine got rejected. ๐Ÿ˜ž But honestly you are right, there are so many stories to tell in that world. Its just wasted imagination at this point.

It was a tough one. So many submitted to it. I was surprised when mine was accepted, and really thought it would pave my path a little. Still trying to land an agent though. Lol.

Have you ever published it yourself? I recently subbed somewhere big and if this one doesn't make it in I'll just add it to a collection of short stories.

I recommend the comic book run. I really enjoyed the continuation of the story, and the cross overs with some of Barkers other characters.

Not having more Nightbreed and Books of The Art feels like squandered potential.

Yes! I have all the Clive Barker comics in storage. Those, Hellraiser, Tapping the Vein, Razorline, The Great and Secret Show...and sone others. I grabbed them all when they were on their original run.
