Synopsis

Visions of pulp era heroes fill his thoughts. He dreams big, but harsh reality digs in as he grows up, and he resigns himself to building surveillance drones for the military. After a brief probative period, he's moved into the clandestine world of investigating crashed alien craft. Fascinated beyond anything he thought possible, it's a dream come true.

A strange find leads to obsession. Combined with his lack of social skills it eventually gets him fired. But he's seen too much. A year later he returns and pulls off a bloody heist. Fleeing into the woods, the military in hot pursuit, he makes a mad scramble up the coast.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dan's early career included a year and a half-stint drawing political cartoons for Madcap Magazine and illustrating underground projects such as Maximum Rock and Roll. In 1997, after struggling through a violent car crash and a knife fight with a crackhead that severed the tendon on his left thumb, he attended art school. Receiving some commercial and local gallery acclaim for his artwork, he moved to New York City in an attempt to kick-start an art career. Heavily immersing himself in the local hardcore scene, he produced artwork for the bands Shai Hulud, Indecision, Koshari, Unsound, Coalesce, Most Precious Blood, Locked in a Vacancy, Beyond Reason, and Zombie Apocalypse, not to mention various local record labels and venues.

In 2000, he started tattooing, A year later, he was stricken with brain cancer. Three months after the surgery, he married fellow tattoo artist Monica Castillo.

His work started appearing in both a growing number of tattoo magazines and more fine art-influenced tomes.

Tragedy struck again in 2007, as his wife of 6 years, Monica Henk, was killed on a motorcycle by a hit-and-run driver. Despite extensive coverage in the local media and vigorous campaigns by both the tattoo and motorcycle communities, the culprit was never found.

His first novel, The Black Seas of Infinity, was published by Anarchy Books in 2011, and he started an illustrated calendar featuring a variety of artists. Deadite Press released the first book with a cover by Dan, a novel entitled "The Sopaths" by Piers Anthony.

A reissue of his debut novel was released by Permuted Press in April 2015, as well as a collection of his short stories entitled "Down Highways In The Dark...By Demons Driven" in August of the same year.

He continued his work for independent magazines, doing art for Red Door Magazine, a slew of books by the imprint Out Of Step, and every issue so far of the British horror zine Splatterpunk.
