── About the press ──

A studio of one. A cellar of many.

The artist and his haunts.

Hiraku Taylor (ヒラク・テイラー) is a horror mangaka and storyteller known for creating psychologically unsettling narratives inspired by the works of Junji Ito, Naoki Urasawa, and Masaaki Nakayama. Blending slow-burning dread, fragmented storytelling, and surreal imagery, his stories explore obsession, trauma, identity, and the darkness hidden beneath ordinary life.

His growing body of work includes The Seed of Evil, Aperture, What Happened to Yukio Sukimoto, Whiskers of Vengeance, and The Hollow Thread. Drawing inspiration from the oppressive atmosphere and interconnected horror of PTSD Radio, Hiraku crafts unsettling worlds where fear feels intimate, lingering, and impossible to escape.

Through cinematic paneling, psychological tension, and emotionally grounded characters, his manga aims to leave readers disturbed long after the final page.
