Behind the worlds
D.C. Burton.
“I want to give you a world to wander into, someone to care about, and a reason to turn the page.”
Since 2016, I’ve explored modern mythology through poetry, short stories, and novels spanning fantasy and science fiction.
I wrote and self-published four issues of The Nekros, a dark fantasy comic twice recognized as a Kickstarter Project We Love. An alum of The Novelry’s writing program, I create sophisticated, accessible stories that explore what graphic novels can be.
