EXCLUSIVE:Heske Bringing us "2012:Final Prayer"
Novelist and friend of the site Robert Heske dropped us a line recently to inform us of his latest literary work, a horror/anthology novel called "2012:Final Prayer". The work, which features 19 stories, is described as..."a one-of-a-kind collection of graphic tales and narrative shorts by creators from around the world depicting their own unique vision of "what happens on 12/21/12" - the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar." For this book, Heske reportedly invited writers and artists from around the world to submit stories for the anthology, with scribes from countries such as the UK, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa, and the U.S., of course all chipping in one piece respectively. The list includes Heske himself, along with Shawn Gabborin, Jim Alexander, Ollie Masters, Chris McJunkin, Arno Hurter, Shamere Borg and Xander Bennett, Christopher Barker, and more! Cover art for "2012" is pictured below.

12/21/12 marks the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar - which depending on whom you listen to could mark catastrophe or spiritual transformation. 2012: Final Prayer plays out multiple possibilities via 4-8 page graphic tales (and an 18-page story by written by Heske and drawn by Dirk Shearer that covers alternate dimensions, the 11:11 time prompt phenomena, and 2012). The book also includes an "aftermath" section with short narrative tales about what transpires the day after 12/21. "The world is abuzz with the 2012 phenomena," says Heske, Managing Director of Heske Horror, who also contributed three graphic tales to the book. "This book provides diverse interpretations about what will happen on December 21st, 2012 at 11:11 GST - whether it be 'End Times,' a spiritual transformation programmed into our DNA, or a fear-of-our-own-mortality phobia buried beneath our sub-conscious." |
Robert continues..."Nobody can predict the future, but 2012 - and the ultimate end game for humanity - provides a fascinating premise for creators. Even if nothing happens, which is certainly the outcome I'm hoping for, we should nonetheless talk about it and get it out in the open - if only to be informed, engaged, and prepared." November 15th, 2009, is when you will have an opportunity to score your very own copy of "2012" from a bookstore near you. For more on the novel, visit www.coldbloodedchillers.com.
