Midnight Clear with Dorian Sinnott – Inking Legacy and Holiday Horrors
In this heartwarming yet spine-tingling installment of *The Marvelists*, hosts Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson welcome Dorian J. Sinnott, acclaimed author of the chilling holiday horror novel It Came Upon a Midnight Clear and proud grandson of Marvel Comics legend Joe Sinnott. As the duo dives into the festive frights that lurk beneath the tinsel, Dorian opens up about the shadowy inspirations behind his debut novel—a masterful weave of interconnected tales inspired by the "12 Days of Christmas," where haunted fir trees, suspicious cats, and sinister twists on Santa and Krampus turn yuletide cheer into pure nightmare fuel.
