Once Lands Book cover. Written by GMB Chomichuk

Illustration and prose dance a blurred line in this collection of horror and wonders.

In the Once Lands a lineage of sorcerous wayfinders work to keep godlike monstrosities locked behind the crumbling walls of cursed cities by allowing the vengeful ghosts of forest gods to inhabit their living flesh.

By award-winning writer/illustrator GMB Chomichuk co-created with J. Gillespie.
