Marc McGowan

Hello! I’m Marc McGowan, the mind behind the Hell’s Awakening series of books and comics. By day, I live a mild-mannered life as a public servant but when night falls, I trade the ordinary for the extraordinary, diving into martial arts, teaching college, and crafting dark, immersive stories that challenge and captivate the imagination. It’s been a long, twisting journey to reach this point one shaped by discipline, creativity, and a relentless passion to bring my worlds to life and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s chosen to walk this road beside me. As the saga continues, I promise to keep delivering tales that grip your heart, stir your mind, and feed your beautifully twisted soul. Welcome to Hell’s Awakening the darkness is just beginning.
