Hey, everyone! I’ve got big, big plans forming for more comic book projects on Kickstarter! Several in the next couple of years! In the meantime, though, I hope you’ll check out COPYCAT! This is a book developed by Mortal Kombat producer Todd Garner, Heath Amodio, and myself and written by Heath Amodio and yours truly.

Sarah, a talented ER nurse, has the unique ability to diagnose her patients with just one touch. Unfortunately, her power comes at a painful cost, as she suffers the same agony as those she cares for. When a mysterious woman named Emma dies in her arms, Sarah inadvertently leaches Emma’s extraordinary superhuman ability to fight. Sarah is then hunted by Emma’s killers, forced to leach more and more powers from an onslaught of superhuman assassins to stay alive. With any luck, she’ll survive long enough to solve Emma’s murder, and bring them all down.

The project is live right now on Zoop and you can find it here - https://zoop.gg/c/copycat

CROOKED HILLS is LIVE!
8 months ago – Tue, Oct 03, 2023 at 12:26:53 PM

Hey, folks! And happy October!

With the greatest of seasons upon us, I thought I would share the new Kickstarter project that JUST launched—a frightening prose novel titled CROOKED HILLS!

Crooked Hills is the most haunted town in America. It's just the news that Charlie needs to salvage his forced vacation to the middle of nowhere. If he's got to take a family trip to visit relatives, at least he'll see some ghosts.

But the hauntings in Crooked Hills aren't the friendly kind, and soon Charlie, his brother Alex, their cousin Marty, and their new friend Lisa are surrounded by dangers: hellhounds, dead witches, strange dreams—and local bullies. Crooked Hills is far more exciting than Charlie expected, but it's a lot scarier, too…

For young fans of Stranger Things and Paper Girls, this brand new edition of Bunn's middle grade series starter launches readers into an earlier era of unsupervised adventures, childhood independence, and magical shenanigans.

Get ready to uncover the FIRST mystery of Crooked Hills…

Over a decade gone by, I wrote the first CROOKED HILLS novel. Back then, I described it as “the Goonies Meet the Blair Witch!” This middle reader horror-fest was published by Earwig Press, a small publisher out of Chicago, Illinois. The book’s print run was very small, but those who read the story really loved it. Sadly, though, in the years that followed, CROOKED HILLS went out of print and has been exceptionally difficult to find.

Well, not anymore.

I am pleased to present, through the Outer Shadows imprint of Outland Entertainment, the updated and preferred edition of CROOKED HILLS!

This book is for middle readers, yes, but I didn’t dial back the thrills and horror. It’s scary, exciting, funny, and fun!

In the pages of CROOKED HILLS, you will find…

  • Ghosts!
  • Tarantulas!
  • Scorpions!
  • Headless chickens!
  • Goblins!
  • Crawling zombie hands!
  • A mean old hellhound!
  • Witches—disembodied and otherwise!
  • And much, much more!

Join Charlie, Alex, Marty, and Lisa as they embark on the haunted adventure of a lifetime!

This full-length novel is a terrific, creepy story for kids ages 8 to 12. But don’t let the “middle readers” concept fool you! This is a great book for spooky kids… and for spooky adults! In fact, many of the adults who have read the book have been more frightened by the contents than the kids!

Weird Westerns Galore!
11 months ago – Wed, Jun 28, 2023 at 06:08:24 AM

Hey folks!

Here’s a friendly reminder that Outland’s Weird West anthology, THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UNCANNY only has a day left in the campaign! It features a host of prose stories that you don’t want to miss! Here’s the link to the campaign!

ALSO… Oni Press just launched a campaign for THE SIXTH GUN Deluxe Omnibus Editions!

As written on IGN:

The Sixth Gun remains one of the best comics from prolific writer Cullen Bunn, and the fantasy Western series is coming back in a big way. Bunn and artist/co-creator Brian Hurtt are reuniting for a sequel series called The Sixth Gun Reborn, and they're kicking things off by rereleasing the entire Sixth Gun saga in a new series of hardcover omnibuses.

These books are absolutely beautiful. They are a great way to read the series, whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series!

AND… if you haven’t read any of THE SIXTH GUN, you can read the entire first issue on IGN right now, 

To join in the Weird Western comic book fun, head over to the campaign page for THE SIXTH GUN!

Thanks, pardners!
