We're exceedingly grateful for all of your support!
While every project strives to get that special honor of "Project We Love" status, it's never guaranteed. All our hard work seems to have caught the eyes of those who selected our project to join this amazing list of exceptionally cool and creative projects.
Above all else, we know we couldn't have done it without your support, so thank you, friends!
New Stretch Goal Unlocked
Have you heard the news?! The illustrious Russell Nohelty will help us summon the legendary Black Dog to our anthology when we hit $3k!
The Black Dog is the name given to a being found primarily in the folklores of the British Isles. The black dog is essentially a nocturnal apparition, often said to be associated with The Devil or a Hellhound. Its appearance was regarded as a portent of death. It is generally supposed to be larger than a normal dog, and often has large, glowing eyes. It is often associated with electrical storms (such as Black Shuck's appearance at Bungay, Suffolk), and also with crossroads, places of execution and ancient pathways.
Bonuses for Backers 9/20 - 9/24
This week only, new backers–and, of course, those who've already backed our project–will receive two limited bonuses:
1) The audio edition of the anthology story "Disappearance at Sleepy Creek" read by the author, A.K. Hughey! This may NEVER be offered anywhere else again!
2) M.T. Decker's follow-up story Immortal Blade, which follows her Grunch Road Monster home to Louisiana.
Thank You
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support and encouragement. All of our authors are thrilled at how excited everyone is for our stories!
We're sending you wishes for a delightfully devious week as we approach the fall equinox!
FULLY FUNDED + WE HIT OUR FIRST STRETCH GOAL!!

The Veil is thinning...
Greetings, my fellow wonderful Summoners!
This is J. R. Frontera, Audrey Hughey's collaborator in managing this campaign, and I just wanted to take a moment today to CONGRATULATE all of you who have joined us in this venture so far!
Together, we have already hit and SURPASSED our funding goal... which means the ebook, paperback, and hardback of the terrifying tome DARKEST OF DREAMS will indeed be able to come to life in the mortal plane! *gasp!*
But not only that... we have already, only two days into this campaign, reached our very first SWEET, STICKY STRETCH GOAL!!!!
That's right...
Our collective efforts have thinned the Veil, allowing the vestiges of some our monsters to peer through... and we have captured their creepy likenesses into a set of digital wallpapers to adorn your chosen computer screen or mobile phone... if you DARE to remain under their baleful stares for long enough, anyway...
A preview of a few of the creatures waiting to be captured on your devices...
YES!!! ALL BACKERS will now receive this bundle of digital cryptid wallpapers, so BRACE YOURSELVES!!!
But it's not over yet!
No, we have SO MANY MORE surprises in store for all of our fellow Summoners if we are able to hit our other stretch goals before this campaign ends!
Our next goal is to raise $3000 ... once we hit that level, the Veil will thin enough that a whole NEW creature just might be able to slip through... but what might it be, and what might that mean for all of us????
In order to find out, we'll have to get closer to that goal...
What new creature could it be!?!
So please help us get there by sharing this campaign around with all of your besties, plus anyone else you think might want to be a part of this haunting event! The more in the summoning circle, the more rewards we can unlock for all!!
That's all for now, but never fear... Audrey and I shall never be too far away, and I'm sure we'll be back soon enough with yet another thrilling update!
Until then, happy hunting to you...
-- J. R. Frontera
PS: You might also like this...
One last thing! If you are excited for DARKEST OF DREAMS, then you might also like this other series of fantasy-horror tales by bestselling author Russell Nohelty! He has a campaign running right now for volume 4 of his Ichabod, Monster Hunter series, and although at first I wasn't sure if it might be something I like or not... he has now convinced me, lol. He says this series is the standard fantasy trope of the Chosen One turned on its head... and that is EXACTLY the kind of thing I love!
