THE EMPTIES, a horror comic by Kristen Renee Gorlitz. Artwork by Eli Powell.

To celebrate Women in Horror Month,
​I'm happy to feature writer/director, Kristen Gorlitz and the first in her series of
​the horror comic, The Empties.

​

​BLURB: 
What happens when love dies? Most of us have experienced the end of a relationship - even the best breakups aren't easy, but the worst ones are messy and leave us battered and bruised, or numb. The love we thought we would have forever is no longer. And something that was good leaves us rotten on the inside. Yeah, I've been there. So you can see why I thought that the messy side of relationships would be fertile grounds for a one of a kind horror story, The Empties. Because when love dies, something of us dies with it... and is reborn in a flesh-eating monster!  

The Empties is 150+ page horror graphic novel with story by Kristen Renee Gorlitz and savage artwork by Eli Powell!
