People are disappearing near the haunted ruins of an abandoned castle, and a desperate family has come to Chadhiyana to rescue their kidnapped daughter. So begins Chadhiyana #3: Ghouls & Golems, the next stand-alone story in the five-issue dark fantasy series written by J. M. DeSantis and published by Dark Fire Press.
The Girl With the Fire-Ringed Eyes answers the call, setting out to learn the source of the vanishings. But beneath the castle’s acorn-domed spires lurk monsters that even the superstitions of those living in its ruined shadow cannot guess. What the ghouls dig for and what the golems guard is the heart of this issue — a horror-tinged mystery that pushes The Chadhiyana series deeper into the grotesque.
Cover art by Chris Campana (pencils/inks) and Dash Martin (colours) fronts 28 full-color pages of interior art drawn by DeSantis himself, lettered throughout by veteran Mindy Lopkin. As of late 2025 the issue sits in post-production at Dark Fire Press, including a planned black-and-white special edition. Perfect for fans of haunted-castle horror, undead monsters, and heroic fantasy in the mold of Berserk or Elric — follow the official issue page for its release.
