Eternity Meets Its Match! Mad Cave Studios Announces Horror Series, Soul Taker
What if the sweet little old lady living next door to your mother is actually a millennia-old creature that feeds off the life forces of humanity?
Living forever isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Mad Cave Studios is excited to announce its latest supernatural horror series, SOUL TAKER, co-written by New York Times best-selling author Tom Sniegoski (Batman, The Punisher, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Jeannine Acheson (Vampirella, Pantha), with art by Italian cartoonist and illustrator, Valeria Burzo (Caste Full of Blackbirds). Colors by Emilio Lecce, letters by Jim Campbell, and Cover A by Michael Sta. Maria.
SOUL TAKER
Writer: Tom Sniegoski & Jeannine Acheson – Artist: Valeria Burzo
Colorist: Emilio Lecce – Letterer: Jim Campbell
Release Date: July 3rd, 2024
Synopsis: Amarantha is the last of her race, an ancient species that has lived among us for millennia, feeding on the life energies of humanity. Now enjoying a peaceful existence in a retirement community, she continues to consume just enough to survive. But Amarantha has made enemies throughout her long life and an ancient foe thought long defeated has returned and is out for blood, while a newer threat seeks to capture her for their own nefarious purposes! Now Amarantha must do everything in her power to vanquish her enemies and protect the life she has made for herself.
Meet the Creators!
“When Jeannine brought me the germ of an idea–an old lady aging backwards while living in elderly housing–I knew that the project that would eventually come from it would be something special, and that it would need a special home. We continued to work on the idea which would eventually become Soul Taker, hoping that we would find a publisher that understood the kind of story we were trying to
tell, and luckily we did with Mad Cave Studios. Jeannine and I are incredibly excited for everybody to experience the unique characters we have created, and the world in which they live.”
-Author, Tom Sniegoski
“I’m crazy excited to be working with Mad Cave Studios on Soul Taker, my first creator-owned comic series! It seems like forever ago that the character of Amara was born from an innocent conversation between Tom and me about our elderly
moms. And now, four years later, Amara’s story is here, about to be unleashed on the world. I’m so grateful that Mad Cave decided to take a chance on us, and I can’t wait for everyone to meet Amara and the other colorful characters who inhabit her world. A huge thank you is due to the folks at Mad Cave for assembling such a terrific team of professionals to work with us — they all helped bring our story to life, just the way we imagined it.”
-Author, Jeannine Acheson
“When I first read the plot for Soul Taker, I was thrilled. Soul Taker is a horror story with a romantic and gothic aspect, it has a nostalgic flavor coming from most of its characters.
The story is divided between flashbacks dating back between the Renaissance and 1700, the Age of Enlightenment, up to the present day. Amara, the protagonist, has an incredible charm both for her aesthetics and for her story.I am really happy that Mad Cave presented me the task of bringing this special story to images because for me, every chapter is a real journey into a fantastic world.”
-Illustrator, Valeria Burzo
