For everyone who ordered print copies of Brotherhood of the Wolf (Issues#1 and #2): thanks so much for your patience. Books are finishing up at the press now and heading into fulfillment. Most readers can expect their copies to arrive in early January. Appreciate you all being part of this world.

I heard of Sohaib from Fictional Frontiers but I don't know much about them, tbh. It seems like they are more a platform/IP for this sort of thing as opposed to an actual IP, but wallahuAllam

Muslim fiction usually collapses into two camps: preachy moralism or total nihilism. But we deserve a third lane: stories that face the darkness honestly without surrendering to it. This is the world I’m building, inshaAllah.

Most Muslims struggle with their deen not because they lack knowledge (although that is certainly a big factor, if Muslim Twitter is any indication!), but because they're fighting an enemy they can't see. It's kind of like a Japanese horror movie. But instead of ghostly women with long black hair, it's your habits.

A thousand Muslims are arguing whether anime is haram. Not one has asked why does a show about ninja friendships hit harder than 90% of what gets published today?

"Did I stop liking anime or is everything trash now?" Yes (tee hee) The medium changed (more volume, less risk). You changed (you're not 14 anymore). The error is thinking you have to like everything "objectively good." Quality ≠ taste. Respect your compass & move on without guilt, habibi

True! Once your graphic novels arive in the mail, I think you'll have fun with Munir....

Liked Redwall but want something darker? The Builders: A grizzled mouse captain rounds up his scattered crew for one last revenge job. They smoke, they kill, they've got PTSD. I loved the character writing. I loved the banter. I loved how distinct each mercenary feels (my favorite was Bonsoir, the "French" stoat). If that's your thing, you'll also like Brotherhood of the Wolf: https://talesofkhayr.com/blood-tax/

Tahsin fled the Battle of Varna. Koja saw him do it. Now they're hunting child-eating Fae through Ottoman Serbia while Tahsin tries not to piss himself. Both men are in their 30s and 40s. Neither wanted to be here.

Salam! Good question. Brotherhood of the Wolf does have violence and scary moments. That said an 'alim (Ustadh Anwar Mangal) who read chapter 0 of our series and has had his children read it, said this about our series to a parent with an 8 year old: "Might be a little complex for an 8 (plus a little amount of gore too, although nothing more than what they already see in video games), but then maybe your 8 is an avid reader." So, my recommendation would be to read it yourself before handing it to kids, tbh.
