ABOUT BRIAN
Brian Kowalik is a Concord based writer originally from Buffalo, NY. Raised with stories about creatures and spirits in the woods from his Father’s Tuscarora side of the family he was inspired by the tales of things like Thunderbird’s and Flying heads to create stories of his own about the native American legends he’d hear from his dad. Working in graphic novels and design for three years his latest project is the horror series Tales From Wajacueda Woods a series that takes place in a small mountain town in West Virginia outside a state park plagued by monsters of native myth.
ABOUT BRIAN’S BOOKS
Series Synopsis: The sleepy mountain town of Wajacueda Springs and its adjacent state park are haunted by monsters of the Native Wajacuedans legend. A park ranger is feeding monsters to maintain balance and a local Coroner seeks to stop him. This series is aimed at horror and cryptid fans as well as lovers of Native American myth.
This book series is being made to highlight Native American legends and monsters I would hear about from members of my family who lived on the Tuscarora reservation. I’ve always loved these stories and wanted to pass them along in some way to others. Comics being my medium of choice with original stories around the monsters I would hear about. Monsters are taken from all different tribes’ beliefs to show off a variety of legends and beliefs.
