In "The Dark Island," writer and artist John Blackburn delivers a moody, atmospheric tale of lingering trauma and hidden agendas. After surviving a crash and a brutal assault by Officer Jack, Coley finds himself drawn back to Darkcliff—once the site of his near-death—now restored by Garth, a man with unsettling ties to a long-forgotten cult. With tensions simmering beneath a surface of relaxation and intimacy, Coley begins to uncover a terrifying truth: Garth, a descendant of an ancient entity, has plans that could tear open a rift between worlds—and Coley is the key. Cover by John Blackburn.
In "The Dark Island," Coley returns to Voodoo Island with Kit, Harry, and Lon, drawn back by memories and mystery. As he shares the truth of his past kidnapping by Reverend Swinborne, he reconnects with Maria and faces a new threat: Lulu’s warning about the dangerous sorceress known as the Black Widow. When a shark attack endangers Kit and Lon, Coley risks everything to save them, testing his courage in the island’s shadowed depths.
In "Island Heat," a steamy tropical getaway unfolds aboard a sailboat and on a secluded shore, where tangled relationships and unexpected encounters stir beneath the sun-drenched surface. As Coley shares a moment with both Tina and Mark, tensions rise on land when Felix mocks Tina’s boyfriend Darryl, while Kit watches uneasily as Darryl and Lon grow close—only to be interrupted by a sudden, unsettling attack. Amid the shifting dynamics, Kit and Harry reflect on the chaos of desire, with Harry’s quiet wisdom offering a rare pause in the storm.
In "Blood in the Sky," Coley and Maria ignite the deck of a sailing ship with a sensual performance for tourists, but the heat turns dangerous when Kit draws Maria into a private encounter below. As fire erupts and Coley is taken by followers of The Black Widow, Harry must fight through chaos to save them both—only to face a new threat on a remote island where Coley learns the price of his captors' game.
In "The Black Widow," Coley finds himself entangled with a dangerous seductress whose intentions are far from romantic. As tension builds between desire and survival, his hidden voodoo powers begin to surface, shifting the balance of power in a way neither he nor his captors expect. With loyalty tested and emotions running high, Coley must navigate a storm of conflicting desires—both personal and spiritual—while those around him watch, caught between fear and fascination.
In the quiet hush of a moonlit village, Coley performs a mysterious voodoo ritual that leaves Kit spellbound—drawn into a moment of intense, forbidden connection. As the air thrums with unseen energy, Kit finds herself unable to look away, caught in a spell that blurs desire and destiny.
In "Dancer on the Edge," Jennifer Collins and Sammy O'Hara come to Coley for a photo and video session that spirals into something far more intense. As Coley performs for Jenny on the beach and in front of a crowd, their dynamic shifts, drawing him into a reckless, emotional collision with Jerry Donelson, the young priest he’s secretly involved with. The story unfolds with raw urgency, tracing a night of passion, betrayal, and violence that ends in a fiery escape down a broken road.
In "Shadow Over Darkcliff," Coley returns to the isolated estate of Darkcliff with Jenny and Kit, drawn back to the place where he narrowly escaped death a year prior. As uneasy tensions simmer beneath the surface of their shared days of relaxation and intimacy, Coley begins to uncover a dark secret tied to Garth’s mysterious restoration of the estate—and to his own forgotten past. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this story blends suspense, erotic tension, and supernatural dread in a tale where loyalty is tested and the line between salvation and sacrifice blurs.
