The body of the Saga of Blood may consist primarily of artwork, but it is the literature that is its heart. Short stories and not-so-short stories alike shed light upon darkened corners of the world, capturing the essence of life upon a planet cursed by blood in ways two-dimension art will never be able to. The Saga of Blood is a character-driven story setting… but it is still a story setting, first and foremost. And there is always another tale to be told…
