Artist and writer Steven Archer, renowned for his illustrated adaption of Masque of the Red Death (Bram Stoker Award Finalist 2020),Luna Maris, and Red King, Black Rook, brings his unique combination of industrial music aesthetic and classical painting to the realm of sequential art in this visual rampage of a book. This Kaiju-inspired illustrated work tells the epic story of the World Wolf, his limitless love for his mate and the boundless destruction that is caused when something comes between them. A primordial entity, the World Wolf is feared. Misunderstood. Underestimated. And now humanity has pissed him off. The scope of the doom unleashed is too much to comprehend.  Through this fine-art graphic novel Archer takes the next step in the evolution of visual dark fantasy storytelling. As experimental as it is confrontational Red in Tooth and Claw documents a wolf spirit's journey from creative force to avatar of destruction. Or, as Peter Watts writes in the forward, “It is jagged and it is lyrical, it is beautiful and it is grotesque. It is horrific and cuddly.

Jonathan Brenner is an Atlanta-based singer-songwriter who defies easy classification. Described as “somewhere between New York and Nashville,” his music is a unique amalgam of genres, including pop, country, folk, Americana, and jazz. His musical influences include Hank Williams, Sr., Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Cole Porter, Tom Lehrer, and Antônio Carlos Jobim  A wildly clever and often epic songwriter with romantic/heartbreaking storytelling, witty social commentary and the weaving of pointed musical fables at the core of his creativity, the Atlanta based musical enigma – currently riding a fresh wave of intoxicating eclecticism via his second album Instagram Success - is so wondrously all over the map that even his promoters have a hard time defining his artistry.    Is he pop? His infectious, 70s-esque, jangly brassy, vocal harmony filled romp “Silly Little Habit” screams yep! Is he country? His country accent and plucky steel guitars on “Little Lost Lamb in Dixieland” seem to confirm this, but his hilarious jibes about Southern living make him more kin to the musical comedy aesthetic of chief influence Tom Lehrer. (So maybe that's two genres in one?) Is Brenner folk/Americana? Yeah, and with a little bluesy keyboard and rock guitar twinge on the lyrical, easy to sing along with “Riding That Money Train” (which has some edgy social commentary and the acoustic driven irony laden “Jesus Loves the Poor,” which also has blues flavors and a snazzy jazzy trumpet solo. - Jonathan Widran, THE JW VIBE
