OFFICIAL SHADOWPLAY: MIDNIGHT SCHOOL PAGE


GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES

This class is a nightmare.
Violent teachers, barbed wire fences, torture devices, and gruesome suspensions... How did these students get trapped here? Why can't they remember? And once they realize the truth, are they strong enough together to escape?


BOOK 1
MIDNIGHT SCHOOL is the debut of Sam Fonseca’s singular vision: a world where the macabre and the adventurous collide. Merging influences of the visceral horror of Junji Ito and Kentaro Miura with the spirit of classic JRPGs, Sam crafts a reality where art and magic are indistinguishable. As The Daily Fandom highlights, this creates a "dreamlike" experience where creativity is the ultimate weapon for survival.
The world of Shadowplay is a "contemporary dark fantasy" designed to test the characters' sanity at every turn. Here, the darkness is a living entity; every projected shadow hides a secret, from echoes of the past to the silhouettes of those lost to the gloom. In Sam’s universe, when the truth becomes obscured by terror, art serves as an essential force that allows one to reshape reality and endure.
