Hello all,
We've hit or next funding goal of 4K which means we're starting to recoup our production costs of this comic, not just the printing cost! This means we can continue to make more of these books. It also means we're unlocking another bonus item for all backers.
You will all receive a short story that I wrote this year called A Monster on Mole's Hill. It is a middle grade dystopian horror set in the world of The Wind in the Willows.
The story was written for a middle grade horror anthology that is being published by Harper Collins in association with the HWA. My story made it to the final 18 but ultimately was too different from the others in the collection. I'm a big fan of writing about the environment through sci-fi and horror. I love this cautionary tale I told in the world of this classic children's book. I'm gifting a preview copy to all of you to celebrate this funding milestone. Right now, this is the only place to read this story.
In a Monster on Mole's Hill, Mole and Rat must track down an ancient, elusive monster to save their river from devastating human-made fires and pollution. Yes, Toad makes an appearance and is careless as usual. This story serves as a warning of what could happen if we don't start listening to mother nature and change our reckless ways. If you are interested in reading a bit about the monster that will be featured in this story, check out more about him on my Monster of the Week Substack.
Thank you again for being part of bringing this comic to life!
More soon!

Kickstarter Projects We Love that I also dig:
Most of you know, I love all things horror, adventure and mythology - werewolves are no exception. This comic had me at Gilgamesh.
Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey Chapters 1-3
A mix of horror, adventure, & mythology, the third chapter in the story of the world's first werewolf, is Gilgamesh meets HP Lovecraft.
I also really dig horror that is set on or around the Winter Solstice and this project is no different.
Long Dark Winter #1 - An Appalachian Horror
For Sheriff Ted Fallon, the shortest day of the year becomes the longest night of his life. 24 pages of horror!
