A young man with everything to prove and nothing to lose sees his life overtaken by murder, madness and the macabre. Based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

Riker is amazed to finally be able to reveal the macabre work that has been so very long-awaited. And they cannot wait to see the works that others have to share as well. The past year or so has been a long period of darkness; thankfully getting to talk, meet, and share, with artists and friends again, is a bright and warming light. Maybe through exploring the fear and dread that is created in art, we can find our way through the dread and dark that we have been thrust into.
