About The Book

ABLAZE is shining the spotlight on the wide variety of genres and fantastic works within our catalogue! Our second Spotlight on Horror includes three comic titles - He Who Fights with Monsters, Children of the Black Sun, and Life Zero - bundled together under a specially discounted price.

In He Who Fights with Monsters: The power struggle of WWII is in full force. In Prague, the great Bohemian city is being oppressed by the Nazi occupation and the population lives in terror, while the resistance forces try to organize themselves in the shadows. It is an almost impossible task. With the ruthless SS tightening their grip on every street and neighborhood with overwhelming might, only one hope feeds the struggle. A crazy hope, which rests on the fragile foundations of an ancient, monstrous legend...

In Children of the Black Sun: Over the years, a black sun has risen twice. A dark dawn whose rays have done terrible things to people's minds, driving them to all sorts of horror. But fear is not the only legacy of those terrible days. All children conceived under the Black Sun's influence carry... peculiarities. In the town of Brightvale, a small group of these children, treated with particular contempt by their community, embark on a hallucinatory journey to discover themselves and their true nature. But is the black sun really about to return?
