HESKE HORROR ANNOUNCES WINNING SUBMISSIONS
FOR 2012: FINAL PRAYER

Indie comic professionals, horror
writers and best-selling authors all contribute to darkly entertaining
"End Times" anthology.

For_Immediate_Release:

(Boston, MA – September 22, 2009) — Heske Horror, the indie horror
shingle that created Cold Blooded
Chillers and the award-winning horror anthology Bone Chiller, has announced the winning submissions for its latest
project – an anthology titled 2012: Final Prayer. The Doomsday
tome features 19 stories from published creators and emerging talent from
around the world, making this one-of-a-kind collection a truly global event.
Representative countries include the US, UK, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Ireland,
Italy, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Scotland and South Africa.

"The world is abuzz with the 2012 phenomena," says R.M. Heske
who contributed three graphic tales to the book. "This book provides
diverse interpretations about what will happen on December 21st, 2012 at 11:11
GST – whether it be ‘End Times,’ ecstasy or a phobia inside our head."

12/21/12 marks the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar – which
depending on whom you listen to could mark catastrophe or spiritual
transformation. 2012: Final Prayer plays out multiple possibilities via 4-8
page graphic tales (and an 18-page story by written by Heske and drawn by Dirk
Shearer that covers alternate dimensions, the 11:11 time prompt phenomena, and
2012). The book also includes an "aftermath" section with short
narrative tales about what transpires the day after 12/21.

"Nobody can predict the future, but 2012 – and the ultimate end
game for humanity – provides a fascinating premise for creators," says
Heske. "Even if nothing happens, which is certainly the outcome I’m hoping
for, we should nonetheless talk about it and get it out in the open – if only
to be informed, engaged, and prepared."

Here is the list of the winning submissions and their respective
creator teams:
