What will you discover in the Storymaze?

It’s the eternal question: what’s in it for me? See how this grabs you: I’ve been hitting the keyboard for a long while, generally under the pretentious sounding moniker “D.G. Chichester” — although I hope I’m not actually as pretentious as that sounds! What I’ve been happy to be doing all that time is crafting stories for Marvel Comics (Daredevil, Hellraiser, Nick Fury, the Midnight Sons) and a whole lot of big business advertising (tech, healthcare, real estate, tourism, toy companies). As a “working writer”, I’ve got a unique POV on storytelling and storytellers. That’s what’s waiting in the Storymaze. This is a chance to find the good stuff together.

A SPECIAL SUBSCRIBERS-ONLY BONUS…

As a comic book anthology, the groundbreaking Clive Barker’s Hellraiser needed to recruit writers and artists to the cause. The “invitation” we sent out outlined not only the goals of the comic, but important details of the inner workings of hell. Get your very own copy of the Hellraiser Series Bible — developed in collaboration with Clive Barker himself.

Discover for yourself the answer to burning questions such as, “What’s up with Leviathan?”, “What’s the history behind that damned puzzle box?”, and “What motivates the Cenobites?” We have such sights and suffering to share with you: get your link to download when you sign up!

Here’s what subscribing to Into the Storymaze gets you, every week:

Twisty Little Passages

I’ll be posting creative writing (comics, interactive fiction), biz writing (without the blah-blah-blah), essays on tech, games, movies. New work-in-progress, never before seen samples from projects that went into hiding, and experiments in short stories. Ideas for amping up your own wordplay. Mixing it up from one to the next with text-on-screen, audio plays, podcasts, transcripts.

Treasure Seekers

It’s not just about me: it’s about the other storytellers who are traveling into their own Storymazes and bringing out amazing treasures. I’ll steer around the obvious (“‘The Queens Gambit’ was so super good!”) and put the spotlight on more unique games, books, videos and whatev that really work the magic.

The Comics Labyrinth

From Captain America to Batman, from Nightbreed to Punisher, from the printed page to the retro “cybercomics” of the nineties… as a writer and editor I’ve got hundreds of comics to my credit, and it’s overdue to show them off. Expect covers, panels, interviews and the “stories behind the stories.”

Web of Intrigue

Sometimes there’s something to be said for what someone else said. The right quote can get you through the day, or kick off that unexpected creative project. Of course, I’ll only be including the absolute right ones! Or at least the ones that have me curious and curiouser.
