Tom Baker

Writer · Artist · Publisher of Strange Artifacts

I’m Tom Baker — writer, outsider artist, experimental musician, and small-press publisher. My work lives in the shadows where horror cinema, pulp folklore, and DIY creativity collide. Over the years I’ve published with Schiffer (Haunted Indianapolis, Indiana Ghost Folklore, Scary Urban Legends, Midwest Maniacs, Notorious Crimes of the Upper Midwest, and more), and I continue to produce independent books, zines, and multimedia experiments that blur the line between horror history, cult film, and underground art.

Here on Itch.io you’ll find my latest projects:

• Artifacts of horror cinema — retellings of Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Metropolis, and other silent nightmares.

• Zines & micro-RPGs — mental games, random tables, and playable oddities in the tradition of photocopied punk RPG booklets.

• Experimental art & sound — projects that bring the outsider, the haunted, and the unclassifiable to life.

I believe in making work that feels discovered, not manufactured — lost reels, forgotten stories, and artifacts dredged up from the vaults of horror and myth.
