10 Works in House of Mystery (DC Comics)

Listing Works

    Summary

    This can be considered an anthology series, dedicated to the likes of DC Comics (Vertigo) titles such as The House of Mystery, The House of Secrets, Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love, Books of Magic, Fables, Hellblazer and Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. It also runs heavy influence from Marvel's (Epic) Moonshadow series by J. M. DeMatteis and Jon Muth. A compendium of modern day fairy tales, with elements of mystery and satire.

    I always felt that Zed, the rebellious artist and psychic from Hellblazer who becomes one of John Constantine’s key allies and love interests was under-represented. Outside of her mysterious ties to a fanatical religious cult called the Resurrection Crusade, I thought a lot of her story was untold. I took care of that in the pages ahead.

    Prose is heavily influenced by the likes of the hopelessly underrated authors Greer Irene Gilman and Guy Gavriel Kay .

    John Constantine, Zed, June Moon, The Enchantress, Nightmaster, Doctor Thirteen, Death, Morphius, Cain, Abel, Swamp Thing, the Resurrection Crusade and The Parliament are all DC Comics trademarks, and may make occasional appearances within a chapter, or future anthology titles.

    Summary

    She never really belonged somewhere, or anywhere that she remembers.

    She never really had anything that was truly hers.

    The living is always wary of her.

    The dead saw her as a potential tool.

    She didn't want any of this. But what else can she do but take the burden?

    After all, despite everything, it's the only thing that truly and only 'belonged' to herself.

    The idea is for the reader to feel the story could be told by him or her. Therefore the protagonist is never named. A lot of presumption is had with an experiment like this, but the author found it to be a great source of recreation, hopefully the reader will too.

     

    There will be other settings and characters, but this story of Nuvola has developed into other chapters to lessen reader fatigue.

     

    Prose is heavily influenced by the likes of the hopelessly underrated authors Greer Ilene Gilman and Guy Gavriel Kay .

     

    John Constantine, Death, Morphius, Cain, Abel, Swamp Thing and The Parliament are all trademarked by DC Comics, and may make occasional appearances within a chapter, or future anthology titles.

    MADAME XANADU has lived many lives, has swam in the waters of Avalon, has fought back perils alongside the DEMON KNIGHTS of old, and most recently has told the fortunes of living gods in the modern age. As she visits the HOUSE OF MYSTERY, though, she crosses paths with none other than JOHN CONSTANTINE who needs her services for a palm reading. What Xanadu does not expect, though, is to be caught in a trap by the world's most modern magician. The two are bound together in a magical duel against the trickster KLARION and will only be able to survive if they reach a difficult compromise.
