Alan Robert of Wasted Talent Entertainment, the illustrator and creator behind the widely popular BEAUTY OF HORROR series, recently signed a new deal extending his partnership with premier publisher IDW to release new products through 2026. The first volume of Robert’s horror-themed adult coloring books exploded in 2016 and has expanded to six volumes, tarot card sets, and guided journals. THE BEAUTY OF HORROR, led by its central character Ghouliana, built a worldwide fanbase and has sold over 500,000 copies to date.

“I feel honored to be able to give a creative outlet to people across the globe who are just as twisted as me,” laughs Alan Robert. “They’re less interested in flowers and butterflies, and much more in tune with the strange and macabre. Together, we’ve created a warped and wonderful never-ending art project. I’m excited to announce that there’s a lot more madness to come.”

IDW Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich admires Robert’s creativity and loves watching how the fans respond to his new books. “Working on BEAUTY OF HORROR is exciting on so many levels. It’s such a unique endeavor, and Alan has so much passion for what he does, it’s always a great day when he drops his new files on us and I get to see what he’s concocted,” remarked Rich. “That enthusiasm carries over to when the book hits and the audience reacts. Seeing Alan’s fans get engaged and post their colored versions of his art makes it clear why he puts so much effort into each release. It’s like Dr. Frankenstein sending his monster into the world and instead of fire and pitchforks, they throw rainbows and flowers at him.” 

The first in a string of new Beauty of Horror releases will be THE BEAUTY OF HORROR: HAUNTED HOLIDAYS coloring book in 2024, which combines Robert’s most popular holiday designs into one oversized edition. The 128-page flip book celebrates Halloween on one side and Christmas on the other. Future products include The Beauty of Horror Vol. 7: Backwards Records Coloring Book – a collection of horrifying and hilarious parodies focusing on album covers, and The Beauty of Horror: Ghouliana’s Sanctuary For Monsters, a unique storybook to color.

In related news, after the success of NECA’s Toony Terrors Ghouliana figure released last year, NECA is now developing a 7” fully pose-able Ghouliana action figure, complete with synthetic hair and a soft fabric bat-winged dress. Also, global clothing and lifestyle brand, Blackcraft Cult, known for their unique, gothic-inspired designs, has teamed up with Alan Robert to produce an exclusive Beauty of Horror design titled “Living My Best Afterlife”, available at the Blackcraft Cult shop now.

The Minds of Madness Announces the Release of an Investigative 4-Part Podcast Series, ‘Who Killed Jennifer?’

The Minds of Madness Announces the Release of an Investigative 4-Part Podcast Series, ‘Who Killed Jennifer?’

Almost 40 years later, The Minds of Madness looks into a cold case to find answers for the victim’s son.

Who Killed Jennifer?

The Minds of Madness Podcast is set to release an investigative 4-part series into the cold case of Jennifer Lynn Shirm. A young mother found murdered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the 1980s.

On February 4th, 2024, The Minds of Madness true crime podcast is set to release an investigative four-part series centered on a cold case from nearly 40 years ago in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Andres “Andy” Shirm spent his entire childhood terrified of a man his family thought was responsible for his mother Jennifer Lynn Shirm’s disappearance. Even the sight of the man’s photo sent Andy into full-on panic attacks.  

Although he’d eventually learn that his mother hadn’t just been taken – she’d been murdered, it wouldn’t be until decades later that he’d learn that the man he’d been afraid of all those years, hadn’t been his mother’s murderer at all.

Over the years, police identified several suspects in Jennifer’s murder investigation – even making two arrests.

Yet still, close to 40 years later, the question still remains, “Who killed Jennifer?”

In the 1980s, Jennifer was one of seven unsolved homicides in the area, all linked by a striking lack of evidence at the crime scenes, with one exception: Jennifer’s case.

With over 60 million downloads, the award-winning podcast “The Minds of Madness” presents a gripping four-part series hosted by Tyler Allen after a two-year independent investigation into Jennifer Shirm’s homicide.

Four decades later, her son, Andres “Andy” Shirm, breaks his silence in exclusive emotional interviews, as he looks for answers and justice for his mother. Known in the music industry as SickTanicK, Andy’s musical journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy.

Scheduled for release on February 4, 2024, the series will transport listeners back in time through Jennifer’s original homicide investigation, scouring through hundreds of pages of police documents, and interview transcripts with witnesses and suspects, revealing new information to Jennifer’s son.

To learn more about The Minds of Madness’s new series “Who Killed Jennifer?” visit mindsofmadnesspodcast.com. Join the conversation and help bring attention to this unsolved case as we seek justice for Jennifer Lynn Shirm and her family.
