BLACKMOUTH: THE WITCH'S MARK
Our Ominous Season Project Doth Arrive!
Welcome to Blackmouth, a dark fantasy graphic novel where gothic horror, witchcraft, and mystery intertwine in a chilling tale of conspiracy, magic, and murder. Here lies a world where those marked by the Witch are cast into the woods, far from the pious and good.
In the prosperous mining town of Blackmouth, an ancient darkness stirs beneath the surface. Ruled by a monastic council, the town's wealth masks a sinister truth: a malevolent Witch lurks in the Black Woods, devouring souls and spreading terror. Few who dare to tread into her domain ever return.
In Blackmouth: The Witch’s Mark, the inaugural chapter of our three-part saga, young Arik — haunted by the loss of his mother to the Witch's dark rituals — finds his fate entwined with the mysterious Aoife. Their lives are ensnared in a web of dark magic and perilous secrets, as the fragile order of Blackmouth begins to unravel.
Inspired by the atmospheres of Bloodborne and the haunting tales of The Witch and Crimson Peak, Blackmouth is brought to life through Katie Sawatsky’s breathtaking illustrations and Kyle J. Smith’s narrative that explores fear, control, and the unseen forces that shape our destinies.
Kyle J. Smith, a visual artist and storyteller from Toronto, lends his talents to this dark tale, having worked in Canada’s Entertainment Industry for nearly a decade.
Katie Sawatsky, an artist in the gaming realm, enriches the narrative with her stunning visuals, having collaborated with giants like Netflix and IDW.
