Hey there, Gals and Ghouls -
Just got this message from the printer:
"As expected we had delays at Long Beach port, but our container is currently in Chicago. We are coordinating pickup with an LTL truck carrier and estimating your books to be delivered mid to late next week. You should get a call next week to schedule a delivery appointment."
Once I have the books in hand, I'll lock addresses in Backerkit, giving you 48 hours to make changes if you need to. That should give me enough time to check everything in and begin prep. We're going to bust our buns to get these out to you ASAP.
It's been a long haul...but we're almost there! Thanks for your patience and support--we know it'll be worth the wait.
DEADSKINS! hardcover is live
Meanwhile, my latest campaign went live over at FRIED COMICS:
This is the 10th anniversary, 172-page hardcover collection of the series critics call:
Here's the pitch:
"A Harvard-educated dandy and his blind, drunk companion are all that stand between the Old West and an Undead Apocalypse. This is the true story of Custer's Last Stand... whatever they taught you in school is bullsh!t."
To check out the preview--or to get the book!--click on any of the images above, or...
That's all for now. The next time you hear from me, I should have your books in hand...

Happy New Year, Horror Hounds!
We just received this notice from the printer:
"Shipment hit port on 12/30 and I am waiting for an update from my carrier on customs clearance and estimated delivery date. Will follow up as soon as I have it!"
We'll update you as soon as we have a firm ETA, but we are getting close to having these in hand.
Thanks, as always, for your support and patience.
Hope you enjoyed your horror-days,
Clay and David
Books shipping out from the printer soon!

Did everyone have a terrifying Thanksgiving?
With... (*screams*)... family?
Hope you all survived the horror of the day and are ready to face another monster soon.
As for me, I sat down to follow up with the printer this morning when a note came in from her saying this:
Our books have been packed up and are shipping out this week!
She expects the holidays will delay things a bit, but with any luck I'll have them at Bloodline HQ shortly after the new year. She's promised to get back to me soon with a better estimate, which I will duly report to you, Gentle Reader.
And at that point, maybe I can fill you in a bit on our plans for CARMILLA in 2025...
Thanks, as ever, for your patience and support.

Printing + Shipping Update

Hey there Gals and Ghouls -
It's getting late here, so I'll make like a slasher and cut right to the chase:
A few weeks back, the printer let me know that the books have been printed and bound, though they still needed to be packed and shipped.
I was waiting to update you until I had a firm "in-hand" date, but I haven't heard anything since then.
I've requested an update, and as soon as I have something to report, I'll jump back on here and give you the skinny.
As ever, thanks for your patience. We know it's going to be worth the wait!
Meanwhile...
Over at Fried Comics, we're going back to the future.
Ten years ago, Alexandre O. Philippe and I teamed with artist Leila del Duca, colorist Brett Nienburg, and letterer Charles Pritchett to create DEADSKINS!, a zombie horror western comedy for mature readers.
(Think “Blazing Saddles” meets “The Walking Dead.”)
We serialized it on our website, and later brought it to comiXology. Finally, in 2020, we Kickstarted a “remastered” edition, darkening the lines to bring out the beauty of our black, white, and red production.
We printed all five issues over three volumes, and at the time, each volume was our highest grossing campaign ever.
Now, just a few scant years later, we are nearly sold out of our original run of DEADSKINS!, so that means it’s time for THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION!
Back soon with more news about NT3D as soon as I have it...

The Proof has been approved!

Hi all -
Quick note to let you know that the proof arrived on Friday, and it looks great:
The 3-D really pops!
I gave Sam at Printlore the thumbs up to put this into production right away. Waiting to hear back on when these will ship out to Bloodline HQ and I can start putting them in your hands.
As ever, thanks for your patience. It will be rewarded handsomely!
Meanwhile, if you're looking for more horror entertainment, contributor Mick Beyers (Dreamquest, White Ash) just launched the remastered edition of his Lovecraft/Washington Irving mash-up HOLLOW:
Hollow: A Lovecraftian Horror Story for Mature Readers
Here's the pitch: The Warlock Ichabod Crane seeks to wake the Elder God beneath Sleepy Hollow, and the Witch Katrina Van Tassel must stop him.
The original edition came out from Source Point Press a few years back, but Mick is remastering the story with new material. This 128 page graphic novel is indeed graphic, so ifyou don't mind a little sex with your magic...
