The Dark Pulse

Newly freed, Nolan plans his next move with Group 13. 

What happens when Red Rising author Pierce Brown discovers a new dark fantasy story? In this exclusive interview, Pierce sits down with The Dark Pulse creator Chris Seiter to talk about the inspirations behind the series, how it blends Berserk, 1917, The Road, and The Dark Tower, and why its experimental mix of audiobook, novel, and visual drama is unlike anything else out there. Pierce shares what drew him in, why it feels different from other grimdark tales, and what Red Rising fans might love about Nolan’s desperate fight to reclaim his family. We also dive into the creative process, the role of artists and collaborators, and what’s coming next in Season 2. If you’re a Red Rising fan, this is the dark fantasy obsession Pierce Brown says is worth your time. #PierceBrown #RedRising #DarkPulse
