If you ever get a chance, listen. This is Neko Case's Things That Scare Me, from her album Blacklisted.
Fluorescent lights engage
Blackbirds frying on a wire
Same birds that followed me to school When I was young
Were they trying to tell me something
Were they telling me to run
The hammer clicks in place
The world's gonna pay
Right down in the face of God and his saints
Claim your soul's not for sale
I'm a dying breed who still believes
Haunted by American dreams
Haunted by American dreams
This song is the mood of Shutter in a nutshell. I know I've told some of you the premise of Shutter, but I haven't gone into any real depth for a reason. I don't want to spoil this story that is blowing even myself, one of the writers, away. We have finished writing the first book of what will hopefully be a successful epic graphic novel series, with a substantial indie following at least.
We have also just found an artist who is 110% interested in drawing this story for us. I've seen part of his portfolio sketches and his style is spot on. He is going to do the first 5 pages for us, for consultation and direction, and hopfully we can just let him tackle the project head on, and meanwhile we can write the following books.
