Behind the Scenes of Black Manor Article on GeekTyrant

Here’s an excerpt from a brand new article about the behind the scenes of Tales from Black Manor over on GeekTyrant:

Genre anthologies are on the rise, and there’s a good reason why. From Love, Death & Robots to Black Mirror and V/H/S, these short-story collections have found a way to hook viewers who want just enough to get spooked, intrigued, or blown away, without committing to a long narrative. 

Tales from Black Manor - a series about a family’s dark legacy with Death itself, stretching from the 1300s to the present - taps into this trend with short, punchy stories that get to the heart of the story fast.

The beauty of Tales from Black Manor lies in its setup: each story is a glimpse into another Black family member dealing with Death in its own way, yet each tale connects to a larger, ominous history. One story might show an ancestor's willingness to kill in the name of Death in medieval times, while another jumps ahead to a more modern character grappling with that same dark presence. It’s the kind of approach that lets the story unfold in fragments, keeping each episode fresh while building a deeper, shared story across time.
