Second Sight Publishing and John Jennings Studio LLC will release Shook!, A Black Horror Anthology, a 160-page horror anthology collecting EC-style stories by a range of award-winning Black writers, in 2023. The anthology was inspired by a love of what Jennings calls Southern Gothic horror.
Creators include Eisner Award nominee and Peabody Award winner Rodney Barnes, Eisner and Hugo Award winner John Jennings, Eisner Award nominee Kevin Grevioux, Eisner Award winner David Walker, Glyph Comics Award winner Alverne Ball, Glyph Comics Award nominee Marcus H. Roberts, Glyph nominee Bradley Golden, and Eisner Award nominee Brandon Easton. The collection will also include a story written by actor Evan Parke (Captain America and the Winter Soldier, King Kong).
Artists in the volume include Flavio Cortes, Charlie Goubile, Jamal Williams, Roberto Castro, David Brame, Glenn D. Brown, and Shawn Alleyne.
The project is currently raising funding on Kickstarter (with retailer tiers), with a planned release to backers in March 2023. Mainstream distribution to stores will follow three months after the Kickstarter release.
