MURKY WATERS: Tales From Beneath is an anthology of eight comic book horror stories examining the blurred lines separating reality from imagination.
MURKY WATERS explores life’s big philosophical questions – What comes after death? How responsible are we for our choices? What makes a life ‘authentic’? What separates a ‘hero’ from a ‘villain’? How can we live beyond our deaths? Is our existence defined others?
The creator of THE RESURRECTED, Christian Carnouche, wrote all eight stories, while Erica Schultz is the editor, Cardinal Rae the letterer and Tula Lotay the cover artist. Meriam Carnouche co-wrote House of Cracks.
An all-star cast of international artists features Gabriela Contreras, Christian DiBari, Alex Diotto, Matthew Dow Smith, Triona Farrell, Ismael Hernandez, Maan House, Allison Hu, Dearbhla Kelly, Ariela Kristantina, Roshan Kurichiyanil, Lala Narita, Devmalya Pramanik and J. Schiek. Donna. A. Black, Iain Laurie and Sachi Ediriweera produced pinups for the book.
Christian Carnouche is an Australian working at an international organisation in NYC, after spending almost a decade and a half in Europe.
He is the writer/creator of the comic book mini-series THE RESURRECTED, the anthology MURKY WATERS, and the graphic novel, SYDNEY TO TUNIS, which will be published in July 2024 by Fairsquare Comics.
He is also pitching his first literary novel: Nineteen Ninety Nine: a philosophical coming of age story set in Sydney in the late 1990s.
Christian has a background in philosophy and criminology; two subjects which he explores in his works.
