SARDONICUS
Meet Sardonicus, a malefactor trickster figure of unknown origin. He makes his debut in the upcoming first issue of GHOSTWOOD, robbing a jewelry store.
No one is quite sure what Sardonicus is or the scope of his abilities-but he seems to escape even the most dire of situations with ease. Do you have any guesses of what his abilities or goals are?

Drawings from the development of An Untold World
My character Maurice’s concept art, circa September 2017. This is one of, if not, the very first drawings I made of Maurice. I was 13 years old when I drew this on the back of my Family Consumer Sciences worksheet.
The iconic Olivia Obiero in her old design. I don’t know why I gave her knight armor. I played too much Undertale. Drawn February 2018.
The two cuties looking at the sunset together. They had very skinny necks. Also drawn February 2018.
The whole gang, jumping in the air High-School-Musical-style. Finished on March 13th, 2020, just after I heard the news about my school being shut down due to the pandemic.
Artwork for Behind An Untold World, a collection of projects done for the development of An Untold World. Kinda like this, haha. Drawn May 23rd, 2020.
Another drawing of my dudes that I did in December 2020.
Art for a character named Jeffrey Salib. He’s a cool mf. Art done circa January 2021.
Concept art for the “power room,” a much later and undone part of my story. Drawn February 2021.
I like to do traditional doodles of my characters a lot, like these.
A drawing of Ulysses Ghostwood, done July 2018. In the 8th grade, I got my design for Ulysses’s face from the “cartoon villain” look, which unfortunately takes a lot after anti-Semitic imagery. As a 14-year-old, I was not conscious of this and it was very ingrained in me, yet if you were to confront me about it I probably would’ve called you an “SJW.” This drawing is much tamer than my older depictions of him (he had a cartoonishly large, hooked nose in my art from early 2018), but you can still see some of it in some places. I hope that his current design has steered away from this. I don’t want to contribute to the culture of making villain designs anti-Semitic.
I will show an older drawing of Ulysses now, but I must give a heads-up; although I did not have malicious intentions as an 8th grader, this design choice was still very much harmful to the Jewish community and I shouldn’t have done it. I am surprised that nobody has talked about this. I apologize to anyone who read my comic, saw this older version of Ulysses, and was hurt. Especially any Jewish viewers. Very bad judgement on my part.
CONTENT WARNING: ANTI-SEMITIC IMAGERY
A drawing of Ulysses from March 2018.
Yeah. It’s not good.
Ulysses’s current design
Old drawing of Olivia from November 2019.
Drawing of my character Maeve from April 2020.
Some chapter page art, which is so fun to do since it feels like every one is a liminal space.
Old vs. new drawing of an undone yet important part of my comic; the first one is called “Realization” from November 2017. The second one is called “The Horrifying Truth” and is from July 2021 (now).

TP Countdown Day 27: Cooper’s Dream
If memory serves, I have watched Twin Peaks in its entirety twice before this rewatch, not counting the handful of episodes at the end of the series run I managed to incomprehensibly catch while the show was still airing. The first watch occurred after I’d tracked down the VHS set of the entire series. The second watch was after I picked up the Gold Box edition. That edition was released in 2007, meaning it’s probably been about ten years since the last time I watched this show.
Watching it now, ten years older, hopefully ten years smarter, and definitely with ten years of film, television, and other pop culture behind me, I definitely feel like I’m seeing it with a new set of eyes. I’m noticing different things. Enjoying different things. In many ways it’s a whole new show. Which is exciting, and one of the reason that rewatches like this can be so rewarding, I think. It gives us the chance to hopefully find new layers in work we already appreciate.
In the midst of tonight’s rewatch, something new struck me, and it has to do with one of the central concepts of the show.
When I wrote about Cooper’s Dream in the third episode, I talked about how that moment, which wasn’t originally planned, would eventually become one of the central parts of the Twin Peaks mythology, specifically The Black Lodge. There’s no discussion of the Lodge in the first season, and I don’t think it comes up until late in the second season, but by the time we hate that finale, we’re shown, essentially, that the red room from Cooper’s dream and The Black Lodge are one and the same.
What I had forgotten about as I wrote about Coop’s dream is that certain elements of the dream actually come to represent elements of Laura’s death. It’s as if, as Cooper said of his dream, that it’s a code waiting to be cracked, and once done, it would reveal the identity of the killer.
For example, in this episode, we see Cooper realize that the red curtains in the dream were meant to suggest the red curtains in Leo Johnson’s cabin, where presumably he and Jacques had taken Laura and Ronette the night that Laura died. And the little man’s reference to there always being music in the air was a suggestion of the record player in the cabin, locked in an endless loop of Julee Cruise’s Into The Night, presumably since Laura’s death.
But this got me thinking -- if those red curtains and other details form the dream are meant to be communicating clues to Cooper, then what does that say of the larger existence of The Black Lodge? When we see those red curtains in the Lodge, we assume it’s because that’s how The Lodge exists. But if the curtain’s aren’t really real and are only symbols, then why do they appear in the Lodge as well as the dream?
I realize this is asking questions of specifics from a creator who prefers to work in abstracts and symbolism, and what the red room meant when it was created might not be what the red room meant when the show closed.
And I guess I bring this up because I’m realizing for the first time that what the red room might mean in 2017 might not have anything to do with what’s come before either. I’m not sure if that’s terrifying or exciting, but that’s the way I feel about a lot of stuff in David Lynch’s work, so it’s par for the course, I guess.
“I just feel I need something to occupy my mind ...”
One of the other things I remember being so entranced with, especially during my initial watch of the show, was slow meltdown of Leland Palmer. By the time I watched the show for the first time I had already known that he was the killer, but his emotional breakdown seemed like so much more than just someone dealing with having committed a horrible crime. It really did feel like someone struggling with grief in a legitimate way. One of the thing’s that’s unique about episodic storytelling like this is it let’s you paint a bigger picture of things that really require a bigger canvas to express them, like grief. And I know I’ve said a lot about the way this show portrays grief in the past, but I think it’s worth a reminder every time it comes up.
Leland comes to Ben Horne early on in this episode. Having heard of the arrival of the Icelanders, he’s eager to help Ben close the deal on Ghostwood. He’s eager to do something, anything, to get his mind off Laura. Unfortunately Ben isn’t in agreement and sends him home.
Leland would later return to the Great Northern during a celebration involving Ben and the Icelanders and much of the rest of the glitterati of Twin Peaks. He’s disheveled, of course, but he means well. He only wants to help. At least until Pennsylvania 6-5000 starts up out of nowhere and suddenly Leland begins his sorrowful dance again, shuffling around alone, arms wrapped around a partner who isn’t there, as he sobs uncontrollably.
This leads us to yet another of Twin Peaks’ wonderful moments of darkness and comedy. As Leland struggles with his grief, Ben sends Catherine Martell to dance with him, in the hopes of distracting the Icelanders from the truth of what’s going on. Even as Leland pushes his hands into his eyes to press away the tears, Catherine. begins to make similar gestures, as if this were simply some strange, new dance craze. Ben Horne and the Icelanders soon join along, not knowing that the root of their celebration is one of pain. It’s a wonderful scene, equally heartbreaking and comic.
This week on Twin Peaks ...
Almost a week into my rewatch recaps and I’m still not entirely sure what I want to do with these. As much as I want to be able to dive into the deep end of small details that fascinate me, I feel like that will lead me to neglect the smaller elements of the show. And if I spend too much time on those smaller details, I tend to distract myself from digging deep into the stuff that really interests me. So I’m trying something different tonight, and maybe going forward -- the above work is me going deep in stuff I found significant or meaningful. Following this will be smaller comments on specific moments of the show. Hopefully I can find the best of both worlds here.
Bobby Briggs was always a tough character for me, I think because when I first watched the show -- still in high school -- he represented the kind of kid I would have avoided. And easy as it would have been for Twin Peaks to just paint him as your basic drug-dealing jock type, there’s more depth there than that. Over the course of the show he gets to have some really wonderful moments, and this episode’s scene between him and Dr. Jacoby is one of them. Jacoby shows his skills as a psychiatrist (and also, I assume, someone who has some inside knowledge from Laura) by breaking down Bobby’s had shell exterior and getting to the lost little boy that’s inside.
Apparently Hank Jennings used to be the go-to criminal in Twin Peaks and he seems a bit annoyed that Leo Johnson has taken over his previous position, or at least that’s what the few punches he threw at Leo would indicate. I’ll admit that I was never particularly interested in Hank’s story, and I think that might have been at least partly from getting off on the wrong foot with the character -- specifically that moment last episode, when he’s talking to Josie Packard, and he just sucks on his weird domino tchochke. I mean, who does that? Fucking creeper.
Audrey’s about to have a bit of run of bad luck. First she’s managed to promote herself to the perfume counter at her father’s department store, by passing her father’s suggestion that she start out in gift wrapping. Audrey is hoping to discover what happens to girls -- like Laura and Ronette -- who work the perfume counter. She’s not going to like what she finds out. Also, she’s just his episode learned that her dad is having an affair with Catherine Martell, and in a fit of her own grief, has thrown herself into Agent Cooper’s bed, where Coop finds her in the concluding moments of this episode.

Daniel Marc Chant is an author of strange fiction. His passion for H. P. Lovecraft & the films of John Carpenter inspired him to produce intense, cinematic stories with a sinister edge.
Daniel launched his début “Burning House” in 2015, swiftly following with the Lovecraft-inspired “Maldición.” His most recent books “Mr. Robespierre”, “Aimee Bancroft and The Singularity Storm” and “Into Fear” have garnered universal praise.
He has featured in the anthology collections “Cthulhu Lies Dreaming” from Ghostwoods Books, “Death By Chocolate” from KnightsWatch Press, “VS.” from Shadow Work Publishing and “Bah! Humbug!” from Matt Shaw Publishing, and the upcoming “The Stars at My Door” from April Moon Books.
Daniel also created “The Black Room Manuscripts” a charity horror anthology & is a founder of UK independent genre publisher The Sinister Horror Company. Please welcome Daniel Marc Chant to Roadie Notes���…
1. How old were you when you first wrote your first story?
I would have been around nine or ten at a guess. I was certainly in the later years of Primary School here in the U.K. During those formative years I was very interested in the Fighting Fantasy series of books as well as tabletop fantasy gaming. I remember writing a series of stories based around a burly Orc warrior named Grogan who was always caught up in some hapless adventure that required his specific brand of violence. No doubt inspired by early watching’s of Conan. Sadly Grogan’s adventures weren’t that great, but they do still exist somewhere in my parents attic. Along with my soul.
2. How many books have you written?
Well it depends on whether you count released and unreleased? Released I have Burning House, Maldicion, Mr. Robespierre, Aimee Bancroft and The Singularity Storm, Into Fear and One Girl Army – so that’s seven. Unreleased (but practically finished) I have Devil Kickers and Incarnate so that’s another two. All in all nine. Not a bad tally.
3. Anything you won’t write about?
Sexual violence and animal cruelty. I’m no prude but I couldn’t personally use those subject matters and write a convincing tale that would justify their inclusion. Other writers have done so masterfully but I know I would struggle with it, and therefore it’s not for my fiction. I’ll leave that to others. My style is a cocktail of 80’s nostalgia, Lovecraftian mythos and John Carpenter homage.
4. Tell me about you. Age (if you don’t mind answering), married, kids, do you have another job etc…
I’m 38 years young (he says with bones that crack every morning) and I live in Bath, Somerset U.K. with my girlfriend Christian Lourenco (yes, she does have a boy’s name, she’s half-French). No kids, never wanted any and luckily nor did Christian so we’re good on that front! During the day I am a mild-mannered office worker in the world of finance (there’s a far lengthier explanation of what I do, but it makes most people’s eyes glaze over so I’ll stick to that).
5. What’s your favorite book you have written?
I would have to say Mr. Robespierre. It’s the encapsulation of the 80’s style horror that I adore as well as being a love letter to my good lady Christian. The little girl Chrissy is based on her, and her parents Dom and Sandy are based on her real parents. The book is full of little details and nods to incidental things that I think help flesh it out to be a believable slice of unbelievability. It all happened because I had just finished Maldicion and I (foolishly) asked her what she would like to read about in a book by me. Her response was, “cats, ghost, Madonna and me,” in that order. And so Mr. Robespierre was born.
6. Who or what inspired you to write?
Many things. I fit within your typical horror author stereotype in the fact that I didn’t have a great experience during my school years (bullying and shit like that – don’t worry, I’m fine) so that led me to find escapism in other avenues. Books, comic books, films, and music became the universes that I would escape to. And the more you escape to a universe the more you want to be part of it, so you start creating elements to contribute towards it. At first clumsy fan-fiction and then as it develops you go further down the rabbit hole. The lightning bolt came when I first read H. P. Lovecraft at an impressionable age. His concepts really resonated with me, and still do to this day.
7. What do you like to do for fun?
I watch far too many movies. Far too many movies. And also I’m an avid gamer. For more socially acceptable pastimes I do love to cook and am fucking good at it, if I do say so myself. I blame the expectations of a half-French girlfriend.
8. Any traditions you do when you finish a book?
Think it’s all shit and cry alone. Does that count?
9. Where do you write? Quite or music?
I write at a table in my flat on a Samsung laptop. I always write to music. I cannot do it any other way. It’s always orchestral music too. Sometimes classical, sometimes film scores, sometimes video game scores, and other times just an eclectic mix of whatever Spotify throws at me. I tend to create a ‘mood’ playlist of stuff though and then play that. So for Maldicion it was all brooding pieces, Devil Kickers was Southern Blues, Mr. Robespierre was synth and so on.
10. Anything you would change about your writing?
I pride myself on being a B-movie writer. What I mean by that is that I like to think of my work as self-contained little stories, like movies, that you’d find at the rental stories of my youth. You’d pick them up, watch them and have a laugh or a jump scare and then job done. I’m not, and never will be, the award-winning author whose works transcends the genre. I write monster books.
But the flip-side to that is that my scope can sometimes feel limited to me as I tend to be drawn to throw monsters in everything. And I mean everything. I’m not a master of subtlety and think I’ve got some work to do to in time to turn the dial down, rather than up, when a story gives an opportunity.
But still. Monsters.
11. What is your dream? Famous writer?
As I said above I have no aspirations to be the next Stephen King or whatever. I just want to write an entertaining yarn. If I make somebody lose themselves in the world I created for a few hours then that’s job done. I couldn’t be happier. In an ideal world I’d like to see a film or two based on something I’ve done but a boy’s got to dream right?
12. Where do you live?
Bath, Somerset U.K. A quaint little place that I love dearly. I’m not from here originally, I hail from a place called Gillingham, Dorset (which is also where Justin Park comes from funnily enough).
13. Pets?
None. And it breaks my heart! I adore animals. Where we live we are unable to have pets because British rental rules are random. You can have a screaming, shit spewing child that draws on the walls but you can’t have a cat that will sleep most of the day.
14. What’s your favorite thing about writing?
Monsters. And like I mentioned earlier I like to think of myself as a vendor of B-movie fiction and, being a fan of B-movie fiction, I like that my work does that.
15. What is coming next for you?
One Girl Army my young adult style novella is released on February 4th. That’s been a long time coming and is about a young woman whose relationship breaks down after she’s disovered her partner is cheating on her. She attends therapy (much to her dislike) to try to help and during these sessions each of her emotions takes physical form in her mind, kind of like Scott Pilgrim, and she must battle them to try and manage her depression and anxiety.
Incarnate is also imminent. It’s subtitled ‘a monstrous faerie tale’ and is an action adventure tale inspired by the works of Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro with my own twist. As with most of my stuff it features a female protagonist (I blame Aliens) trying to save her boyfriend from other-worldly horrors while being assisted by a demonic magic mirror.
Thanks for having me Becky! It’s been a blast!

Prepare yourself for GHOSTWOOD
GHOSTWOOD is a haunting new comic series from writer Zach Zeman and artist RJ Silvers.
Set in the eerie and expansive state of Ghostwood-spanning the entire West Coast of the United States-this is the only place where vigilantism is legal, and it's attracting more than just heroes. The government's shadowy Institute for Paranatural Control (IPC) is tasked with keeping a lid on a growing nightmare of meta-humans, rogue vigilantes, and the unexplained.
But something far more terrifying is happening in Ghostwood.
Unexplainable disappearances, terrifying hauntings, and dark forces lurking beneath the surface. As the IPC races to contain the chaos, they'll confront a horror that defies everything they thought they knew.
Ghostwood is a chilling exploration of the unknown, where every corner of this dark world hides another horrifying mystery.

WIP #2
Some concept sketches RJ did for a few other superheroes in the first issue! It’s understood that there are a lot of characters going on here that it can be overwhelming to keep track. No worries! A lot of what we have posted is just world building and side characters to give you a sense of the story.
Which one is your favorite?
