Tales of the Forgotten Expands Unseen Shadows Universe

It's often the unseen shadows that are the most frightening. They creep up on you, until all of a sudden you're being set upon by some evil that you never saw coming. The publisher Unseen Shadows operates a little bit differently, relying instead on warning you in advance of their impending arrival. Consider the news that Tales of the Forgotten is about to be released your warning.

Tales of the Forgotten is the second anthology to be released from the ever expanding Unseen Shadows universe. The comic collects four standalone stories featuring characters taken from the pages of the bestselling novel Fallen Heroes and the audio drama Empire of Blood. It features new stories following Ben ‘The Hand’ Ashodi, master thief with a motor mouth; Kathryn Monroe, investigator and genius analyst; then finally Bob Kelsey…dragged into the world of the occult, a cowardly journalist in for much more than he bargained for.

"Historia" is written by Richmond Clements, illustrated by Alex Moore and lettered by Paul Mclaren. "Stolen" is written by Corey Brotherson, illustrated by Cormac Hughes, colored by Vicky Stonebridge and lettered by Paul Mclaren. "Fight or Flight" is written by Brotherson, illustrated by Jorge Oliveira and lettered by Mclaren. Finally, "The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh" is written by Cy Dethan, illustrated by Valia Kapadai and lettered by Nic Wilkinson.

The anthology will be available on Amazon and from the Unseen Shadows website from November. It's also being launched at Thought Bubble Festival on November 17th.

Second Comic Anthology based on Characters from Bestselling Novel 'Fallen Heroes' Set To Launch This November

When truth must be stolen from the mouths of the wicked, it falls beyond the reach of mere heroes.

Liars, loners, losers – trapped on the outskirts of a war fought in silence and shadow. Drawn into darkness, they flee it, they study it, they make it their home.

They are the Forgotten – a flickering circle of torchlight in an expanding world of Unseen Shadows.

Tales of the Forgotten is the second anthology to be released from the ever expanding Unseen Shadows universe. The comic collects four standalone stories featuring characters taken from the pages of the bestselling novel  Fallen Heroes and the audio drama Empire of Blood.

Featuring new stories following Ben ‘The Hand’ Ashodi; master thief with a motor mouth, Kathryn Monroe; investigator and genius analyst, then finally Bob Kelsey…dragged into the world of the occult, this cowardly journalist has let himself in for much more than he bargained for.

The creative team behind the anthology are some of today’s brightest and best indie comic creators.

The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh - Cy Dethan (writer) Valia Kapadai (Artist) and Nic Wilkinson (letterer)

"I loved the idea of seeing the Unseen Shadows-world through the eyes of someone fighting to survive at the opposite end of the food chain. Bob Kelsey is an everyman in a world populated with monsters and heroes. To survive in those hunting grounds takes the self-preservation instincts of a feral rat. That’s what Bob Kelsey is to me." - Cy Dethan

The anthology will be available on Amazon and from the Unseen Shadows website from November. The anthology is also being launched at Thought Bubble Festival on November 17th.
Review Copies of the anthology are now available. If you would like to request one please contact Sara Westrop on sara.westrop@unseenshadows.com

About Unseen Shadows
Unseen Shadows Ltd is dedicated to expanding the world and characters created in Fallen Heroes through various transmedia elements. Currently in development are several more comic titles, a six part audio drama, a comic adaption of the Fallen Heroes novel and a live action web series.
“These are not just nice little side stories with no impact on the events surrounding them,” Barry explains. “The spin-offs expand and enhance the characters lives and relationships within the novels. It was important to me that the spin offs can be read, watched and listened to independently of each other and the novels but you will get more insights into the characters by experiencing everything the Unseen Shadows universe has to offer.”
