Mixology Noir Book One: Sazerac and Vesper is currently running a Kickstarter, be sure to back the campaign here!

Cocktails have a rich, storied history. Each has an origin, a feeling it inspires in its drinkers, and an identity unto itself. As long as alcohol has existed, humans have mixed it, consumed it, and dealt with its effects.

Sometimes those effects are joyous, other times disastrous.

Stories for fans of horror, crime, noir, and pulp. Fans of craft cocktails: the people who drink them, the places they are made, and the deeper, twisted ways they affect our lives.

SAZERAC - Book 1, Story 1

Writer/Letterer - Evan Carothers (@wolven_press)

After fighting with his wife, a man seeking a drink finds himself in a mysterious bar populated with long-forgotten gods. He quickly learns the price of overindulgence as their influences interweave with the effects of alcohol.

I wanted to write a series of stories inspired by those cocktails and their impact on people. There is no aspect of human nature, history, or mythology that doesn’t mix well with an ounce of bourbon or a shot of vodka. Garnish with some horror, strain through noir, and serve straight up. - Evan Carothers

An entitled woman gets a fresh outlook on the meaning of family after stopping for a “quick vodka” turns ugly with her being chained to a pipe in the basement, held captive by a Russian kidnapping ring.
