A love letter to fans of pulp and body horror, Black Light is a spine-chilling exploration of humanity’s darkest fears across time
Through the pages of Dracula, the frames of Nosferatu, and across time itself, the story unveils a haunting truth: a malevolent presence feeds on human imagination and fear, threatening to consume the world once again.
Among these objects is Bram Stoker’s Dracula, whose legacy endures through adaptations such as the silent film Nosferatu, rumored to have been crafted with occult intentions.
The narrative weaves together the lives of disparate characters across time: Bram Stoker’s widow, obsessed with erasing all copies of Nosferatu for plagiarizing her husband’s work; a silent film expert who is drawn into the sinister secrets of the same movie; Jonathan Harker, whose visit to Dracula’s castle ends in catastrophe; a Victorian medium whose fraudulent abilities
turn terrifyingly real; and a modern riot officer who encounters unspeakable horrors lurking beneath the city.
Spanning multiple pivotal eras in human history, the story is united by the looming threat of an ancient entity as old as the universe itself, one that infiltrates our reality through objects created by humans.
An immersive horror novel where reality and fiction blur, drenched in an enigmatic black light so dark it feels almost tangible.
