Fade to Black

A 27 year old slacker has seizures during which he may or may not be astral projecting.

What he learns might have the power to change the world. 

One second JEFF GROBNAGGER is standing in line at the grocery store, and the next he's in an alley where a hooded figure strangles him to death. 

So that sucks. 

This happens over and over again, every time Grobnagger has a seizure. Alley. Choking. Death. Repeat. What for? Why would anyone want to kill him repeatedly? Is it just a recurring seizure dream? When a sniper's bullet shatters his apartment window, he realizes two things: he's in serious danger, and there's no way he's getting his security deposit back. 

Who is the hooded man? And who tried to kill Grobnagger in real life? His quest for answers leads to a missing girl, cults obsessed with astral projection, an arcane puzzle sphere, an evil book, a private detective named Louise and a mustached man named Glenn that makes the most delicious food he's ever tasted. 

No one he meets is who they seem, and every answer leads to more questions, more seizures and more horrific deaths that may or may not be transpiring on some mysterious plane beyond the physical world.

Fade to Black

"Fade to Black is a fun and gruesome story with a wicked sense of humor that will have you laughing while you cringe."
—Ray Garton

"A smart, swift and fresh new take on a trope too many writers get wrong. Strong and thoughtful characters and story."
—Ed Gorman

"What [Fade to Black] is, however, is the darkest and most delicious kind of comic book fun. It’s EC Comics brought into the 21st Century and given a sophisticated spin. It’s midnight movie madness that unfolds in the stark brightness of a desert sun—and let me tell you, it’s damn hard to scare readers when the lights are all the way on. This one manages to do just that."
—from the Introduction by Jonathan Maberry.

So what’s this gruesome story about…

Desert survival is hard, even without a cannibal cult in the mix. Five people will find that out as they embark on the most terrifying journey of their young lives . . . only none of them are what they seem--and neither is anything else!--in this gut-wrenching tale of horror. Written by award-winning novelist and comic book writer Jeff Mariotte (DESPERADOES, ZOMBIE COP, THE SLAB, SEASON OF THE WOLF), with art by award-winning, internationally acclaimed illustrator Daniele Serra (PRAY FOR DEATH, VEINS AND SKULLS), FADE TO BLACK is, as bestselling author Jonathan Maberry writes in his introduction, ". . . the darkest and most delicious kind of comic book fun."
