REANIMATOR: THE ETERNAL LIE
about 1 year ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2023 at 09:25:14 AM

Hey, folks!

Just popping in to say that the campaign for REANIMATOR: THE ETERNAL LIE is now live!

Not since the Book of the Dead was written by the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred himself, has a tome of such horrors been released upon the unsuspecting world.  Herbert West has discovered a serum that can return animation to dead tissue.  The mechanics of life and death have been solved, but with a small problem.  The reanimated corpses are possessed of an evil disposition that is lethal to the living.  And though he works to refine the reanimation elixir, the forces of the wider cosmos have been unleashed in the town of Arkham.  And now, those dread old ones have unleashed a horde of horrors upon the world and more specifically, one Doctor Herbert West!

This campaign is for Part 2 of the series… but don’t worry! If you missed out on the first issue, you can still get that edition here!

Set immediately after the events of H.P. Lovecraft's "Herbert West - Reanimator" story, REANIMATOR THE ETERNAL LIE offers a shocking new story of life, death, undeath, and cosmic terror!

Herbert West is believed dead - torn to shreds by his own abdominal creations.  But when he surfaces once more, it calls into question everything we thought we knew about this mad scientist and his quest to conquer death itself!  West's reanimation formula has been stolen by a diabolical cult.  In order to retrieve the serum, he must travel to legend-haunted Innsmouth, where degenerate townsfolk lurk and dark gods stir in the depths.

This is the continuation of the new cycle for REANIMATOR stories that will murder what you THINK you know about Herbert West, then bring your preconceptions back from the dead as something new and terrifying.

I hope you’ll consider backing the campaign. If you’re a fan of horror, of zombies, or of elder gods, it’s right up your alley!

Books Are At The Printer!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 06, 2023 at 04:17:56 AM

All the books are at the printer! They’ve actually been there for a bit, but we had to make some adjustments to make sure they come out just right! Those adjustments have been made, and I imagine we will have the books back in just a couple of weeks. As soon as we get them in, we’ll start shipping them out! Keep in mind, we have a couple of conventions to attend in the next three weeks. I don’t *think* the timelines will cross, but that’s the only thing I could see delayng shipping even a little bit. 

Addresses are being locked on Backerkit!

I have gotten a few messages from people who said they hadn’t received their digital versions. I’ve replied to everyone who messaged me with a direct link. So… if you haven’t gotten yours from Backerkit, feel free to message me!

Just a quick update to let you know that the digital editions of DEMOCRITUS BRAND have been sent! You should be receiving an email shortly with your files to download!

A reminder--if you ordered additional items, you will be getting a charge from Scorched Earth Productions! That is us! Do not challenge the charge! If you do, your shipment will be delayed significantly!

Files are heading to the printer!

Thanks, everyone! 

Smoke Tests Coming Soon!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jan 20, 2023 at 03:04:25 PM

Hey folks!

So… our Backerkit is all set up. That means, I’ll be sending Smoke Tests surveys over the weekend. They will go to a random 5% of our backers. 

Assuming they go well, I’ll send the rest of the surveys early next week!

We’re gonna move this thing forward quickly, so please respond as soon as you can!

Please note—If you order any add-on items, the charge will come from SCORCHED EARTH PRODUCTIONS. If you challenge the charge, you will not get your books in a timely fashion.

Just a few things to keep us up to date. 

1) Our letterer and designer is working on the final version of the files. 

2) Our printer has received the order and is standing by for the final files. 

3) I submitted our survey to Backerkit. As soon as they approve it, we'll be sending it out! (I will send you an update right before it goes out!)

So... we're getting ever and ever closer!
