What is ‘Scheherazade’?
Posted by ChrisArrant on Sunday, August 6 2006 at 12:59 pm
SCHEHERAZADE is a modern urban tapestry woven from old magic and old stories. It’s a sheltered young woman in a house without windows, peeling back the blinders and throwing open the shutters. It’s the tale of a dying man and his last victim, whose stories just might help him find the redemption he craves.
“SCHEHERAZADE will be a series of shorts held together by a tale of a young storyteller and her captor,” says Genco. “The format allows me free reign with some of my favorite toys within the context of a bigger story. I’ve always been a big nerd for comics anthologies but I know it’s tough to make them work in print. SCHEHERAZADE is my chance to do an anthology my way, with lots of creative collaboration and no restrictions.”
Elizabeth Genco keeps one foot in the Northeastern woods and the other in Brooklyn, New York, where she pours her love of myth, magic, old school horror and esoterica into comics and stories. She is the author of WEIRD SISTER, RED, and PORTRAITS OF TWENTY-TWO KEYS, all of which are available through Streetfables, a small press that she runs with her husband, Leland Purvis.
Elizabeth is a member of the Endicott Studio, a collective of artists who work extensively with myth and folklore, and contributes regularly to their blog. For more, visit http://www.elizabethgenco.com.

Satellites gone up to the sky. Things like that drive me out of my mind.I watched it for a little while. I love to watch things on TV. Satellite of Love. Satellites gone, way up to Mars. Soon it will be filled with parking cars. I watched it for a little while. I like to watch things on TV. Satellite of Love.
