Mark’s Works
(Comic Anthology,
Issue #1, 2021)
If you’re a hard-core comic nerd like me, you can download a copy of my anthology comic, Wondrous Stories Comics (Issue #1), at Drive-Thru Comics.
If you like silver/bronze age collections of tales of the weird and fantastical, it might scratch that itch. I worked with a dozen artists from 5 different countries on 3 different continents. I’m very proud of what we were able to accomplish together.
PLUS, its final entry introduces my neuro-divergent hero, The Precept! Here’s what one of the most respected writers in the industry says about my creation.
“”Not a dream, not what you’re expecting, but what you need. The Precept is the start of something special by Mark Harbinger. Get in on it now.”
— Ron Marz (DC/Marvel/Image/Dark Horse)
The Precept‘s origin is revealed in my novel…
(Epic Occult Fantasy Novel, 2021)
The Be(k)nighted: The Untold Origin Of The Precept is available as an ebook or hard copy where all books are sold—for example here. Even better, I suggest you support your local brick-and-mortar book by ordering one from them!
Here are some reviews:
“The Be(k)nighted is a spellbinding narrative that will draw in readers from the first few sentences and leave them on the edge of their seats to the very last page…[the author’s] care and perspective of those who suffer from a mental illness is particularly riveting and provides a much-needed vantage point that is too often reduced to a stereotype, marginalized, or ignored altogether.” (5/5 STARS)
— Seattle Book Review
“The Be(k)nighted is a tightly-woven web of intrigue and adventure, melding genres through deft storytelling.”
—Tim Marquitz, author of the Demon Squad Series
“The assemblage of characters from different races is enriching…” (3/4 STARS)
— Onlinebookclub.org Review
“This is thoughtful and deep fiction for both young adults and their parents…” (5/5 STARS)
— Portland Book Review
