BRANDON SEIFERT (he/him) is a writer and storyteller. He's known primarily for his Horror and Urban Fantasy comic books, including Witch Doctor and Clive Barker's Hellraiser.However, Brandon is presently branching out into other genres (he loves sci-fi, fairy tales, and a bunch of other things!) and seeks to "multiclass" in other storytelling media (including prose, tabletop roleplaying games, and scripted fiction podcasts).Brandon resides in Portland, Oregon, in a glorious vintage apartment that looks like a Noir detective's office. Current sources of dopamine include gorgeous Fantasy art books, his new standing desk/exercise bike pair, and buying Biblically-accurate angels on Etsy.

Works: In-Progress

After the acclaim of Witch Doctor, Brandon found additional success writing for characters that other people came up with. Writing Hellraiser, Godzilla and Doctor Who was a blast! But eventually, it because clear that this wasn't where Brandon's heart lived.So a few years ago, he set out in his own direction. Brandon had discovered that his joy in writing lay in telling the stories he wanted to tell, in the manner he wanted to tell them — about characters he'd co-created, himself!As of December 2022, the list of original projects that Brandon is dying to release is up to at least 17 projects long!In the future, this space will hold preview art and information about Brandon's future work — including projects that are looking for publishers.For now, Brandon reveals probably more than he should about his future projects on his Discord community.
