[C2E2 '13] ‘The Occultist’ Combines ‘Harry Potter’ And ‘Trainspotting’

Another horror book coming from Dark Horse in the Fall is Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s “The Occultist” (see the rest of Dark Horse’s 2013 horror lineup here). The book is being described as “Harry Potter meets Trainspotting”, which is as bizarre a mashup I’ve ever heard. The series is set to follow a man named Rob who is irrevocably bound to a magical sword and book of spells. Rob has to learn how to control his new partners before the evil witch doctor steals them for his own bidding.
