In terms of the crowfunding aspect, I’ve been really inspired by authors who have circumvented the traditional publishing methods and found success on their own terms, like Hugh Howey and Andy Weir. Plus purely on a popcorn level it was a fun opportunity to explore some really gory, horrific territory that I’ve never really tried before. I think those “monster within” stories are always a great way to talk about the struggle with our inner demons. Gary Whitta: I always wanted to do my version of a good-old fashioned monster story like Frankenstein or Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, something really dark and sinister with a horrifying beast at the center of it. Geek To Me: Can you tell us a little about how ABOMINATION came to be, specifically the idea for the story and why you decided to seek support via crowdfunding? It’s a story where the reader travels to some very dark places that Whitta has created, with elements of horror, action and (thankfully) humor that keeps you turning pages until you get to the last one.Īfter having a copy of ABOMINATION sent to me by his publisher, Inkshares, Whitta and I corresponded via e-mail to discuss the book where the idea came from how he explores themes of faith and fear how Whitta would cast the ABOMINATION movie and his involvement with Star Wars: Rogue One: “ABOMINATION” tells the story of Wulfric, a knight from England’s Dark Ages, who after fighting a war against his country’s enemies, finds himself battling the forces of darkness.
(He has since written a script for the animated television series Star Wars: REBELS.) Whitta has now transitioned into the realm of prose, having just released his first novel titled “ABOMINATION.” He has written for acclaimed game-maker Telltale Games‘ “The Walking Dead” series and recently made a splash when he was tapped to write the screenplay to “Star Wars: Rogue One”, one of the Star Wars Anthology films that is currently in production. The acclaimed screenwriter first made a name for himself by penning the script to “The Book of Eli”, a post-apocalyptic tale that starred Denzel Washington.
Gary Whitta is no stranger to the realms of fantasy.
