REQUIEM IN RELKE is a blood-soaked revenge thriller with an arid science fiction backdrop. Combining themes from the modern western and gangster genres to tell an explosive but intimate story about identity.

This short story one-shot is inspired by Gabe's experience as a person of mixed race. The main character Aurora walks between the two metaphorical worlds of the story, has tangible connections to both, but doesn’t truly belong in either.

 

REQUIEM IN RELKE is published by Warden Comics.

Gabe left a successful career as a high school teacher and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his passion for writing and working in entertainment.

 

REQUIEM IN RELKE is an acutely personal story about identity. Through Aurora and Zephyr, Gabe examines the complicated tension that comes from belonging to a community but always feeling like an outsider. 

​

If you enjoyed FOR MOLLY, INTO THE WILDERNESS, and THE NIGHT SHIFT (from Warden Comics MONSTROSITIES) you will love the action, suspense, and emotional intensity Gabe brings to REQUIEM IN RELKE.
