Each weekend we include independent horror news sent our way. If you want to be featured in our next round-up, send us an email.

Dark Harvest: Legacy of Frankenstein: Fans of Frankenstein or horror-themed role playing games may be interested in an alternate take on the Frankenstein story in Dark Harvest:

"What if Victor Frankenstein had embraced his discoveries rather than seeking to destroy them? Dark Harvest: Legacy of Frankenstein is a detailed, fascinating game setting, a terrifyingly plausible alternative history and a fiction anthology; a gothic horror fantasy that will appeal to gamers and the general public alike."

Chopper #1 Released: "Written by screenwriter Martin Shapiro and drawn by acclaimed Dark Horse artist Juan Ferreyra (Falling Skies, Rex Mundi), Chopper is a modern-day reimagining of the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow fame. After taking a strange new drug with supernatural side effects at a party, the rebellious teenage daughter of a police officer starts seeing ghosts and is stalked by the Reaper, a headless biker on a motorcycle who collects the souls of sinners in the afterlife."

"Four stories, represented by each season, with diverse groups of people and the challenges they face after a zombie apocalypse. Trying to create a new life under the most dire of circumstances and dealing with letting go of their former lives, while coping with the constant danger of the infected. Will they survive? Will they want to?"
