Swords in the Shadows - Final Week!
We are closing in on the end of the Kickstarter campaign for Swords in the Shadows and Raze, the first two publications in the Outer Shadows imprint!
We are officially down to the wire on the first Kickstarter campaign for the Outer Shadows horror imprint.
The Kickstarter for SWORDS IN THE SHADOWS and RAZE will end in just a few days (April 13). We’re close to our goal, and I’m confident we will fund, but I want to finish strong. I’d especially like to finish strong enough to increase the payment to the authors in the book. So… I’m calling on you, horror fiends!
If you haven’t backed the books, please check it out and, if you’re interested and able, throw some support our way. If you have backed the project—thank you!—if you can help us spread the word, that would be amazing!
Here’s the link!

What is RAZE: MAIDEN, MOTHER, CRONE?
RAZE: MAIDEN, MOTHER, CRONE is a horror fantasy novella by Cullen Bunn. It introduces the war-stricken world of Sirs and Kast, a pair of cunning outlaws who are seeking to make a fortune as the apocalypse looms. A dark, violent, vicious tale of the end of the world and the friendships that weather doomsday.
What’s next for Outer Shadows?
We have big plans for Outer Shadows. Some include:
CROOKED HILLS (a middle reader horror novel by Cullen Bunn)
CROOKED HILLS 2
I’LL KILL YOU LAST (an anthology fusing horror with the tropes of 80s action movies)
THE GALLERY OF WHISPERS (a weird horror RPG supplement)
More RAZE
And many, many more projects
But, of course, the better this campaign does, the more horror projects, we’ll be able to bring you in the future!
