There's a couple of Kickstarters running this month that you all should be aware of, and here's a little bit about two of them!
First up is the Kickstarter for
Welcome to Miskatonic University and its companion book
It Came from Miskatonic University by Broken Eye Books, two anthologies about college life in Arkham's hallowed educational institution. If funded to the $17,500 level,
It Came from Miskatonic University will include a co-written story by me and my spouse/in-house editor Rob McMonigal called "The Last Observer." Although Rob has been editing my work since 2012 (when I got my head out of my ass and started writing again), this is our first time tag-teaming on a story, and I really hope it sees print. The books also feature work by Angela Slatter, Jennifer Brozek, Kristi DeMeester, and many other horror and weird fiction authors. There's a lot of different book levels and goodies available for rewards, including a critique by me of any work of fiction up to 10,000 words in length.
You can support the Kickstarter here!
There's also a Kickstarter running for two more years of
The Dark. Publishers of quality unsettling fiction for the past several years, The Dark features a wide variety of diverse writers, with over half of the published stories being by women and over a third by people of color. Some of my favorite stories from the past few years of
The Dark have been Carrie Laben's
"Postcards from Natalie" (which won the Shirley Jackson Award!),
"Five Boys Went to War" by Amanda E. Forrest, and
"The House That Jessica Built" by Nadia Bulkin. My own quantum suicide story
"Lucky Girl" appeared in the September 2017 issue. This Kickstarter also has a reward tier that includes a critique by me (again up to 10,000 words).
