Soft Launch of Crowd-funding for Of Dread, Decay, and Doom Horror Anthology
First, we are soft-launching the crowd-funding campaign for our horror-themed anthology expected this October, Of Dread, Decay, and Doom. Given the effectiveness of our first anthology having both Ko-fi and Indiegogo choices, we decided to do this again the third time around. The Indiegogo campaign will launch in July with the cover reveal, and have a limited run of 60 days max, whereas the Ko-fi one can be ongoing. Funds directly cover author stories, paid at a great rate, and any book production costs. Perks are essentially the same. Read more here:

The Legend Liminal, a novella by critically acclaimed author Ren Hutchings, publishes September 30.
“The Legend Liminal is an ambitiously original novella about the strength of familial bonds in all the strangest, coldest corners of spacetime, and the subtle defiance of simply existing in an uncertain world. Hutchings’ signature wit and twisty sci-fi concepts add kaleidoscopic depth to this standout story.”
