Indie horror publisher uses crowdfunding to support their growth

By pghhead -

EDITOR’S NOTE: I’ve been following the growth of this independent publisher of horror for more than one year now, and their books continue to impress me.  Here’s a chance to help support their aggressive 2018 schedule and grab some cool rewards.  Please take a minute to check out the link below.  Here’s more on the subject from Crystal Lake CEO Joe Mynhardt . . . . . .

Hi, folks.
 
Please take a look at the info below and the link provided. We’d really appreciate your support with this Crystal Lake Publishing - The Next Chapter campaign (even if you just share the link on social media):
 
We have some of our most important and ambitious works coming out over the next 15 months, and we will put every possible resource behind these projects. For this reason, we’re taking the highly positive step of running this campaign to better position ourselves and these projects. Funds will go toward paying authors, artists, and marketing. This will ensure these titles making the widest possible splash upon publication while maintaining the highest standards of editing and production.
 
We have some amazing prizes and rewards for you. Hardcovers, pre-orders, books signed by Joe Hill, Jonathan Maberry, Joe R. Lansdale, and many more. There are movies, signed posters, horror movie memorabilia, and so much more. There are even two lucky draw ($5 entry) pots, again, one for authors and one for readers. Authors can win editing services, short story critiques, ad space, and even mentoring.
 
Come take a look at some of the amazing prizes we have for readers and authors (more will be added as the campaign continues):

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway...

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this typ...

Meeting writer Lance Parkin . . . . .

THE AUTHOR SIGNINGS AT CAPTAIN BLUE HEN COMICS 11/07/2009 Opportunities to meet authors, chat with them and ask questions in relaxed and casual surroundings don’t occur often. So, it was a real treat to be introduced to three separate writers on the same day, at the same location. I opted to ask all three writers (Greg Cox, Lance Parkin and Dave Thompson) the same opening question: At what point did you decide to pursue what you do as a career? The early ambition of Lance Parkin was to be a journalist but he became disillusioned as he learned more about the position and didn’t pursue it. He was an early and forever fan of Doctor Who and loved the novelizations. At the age of 23 he thought to himself “I can do the same thing. I can write as well as this.” At that time Virgin (the publisher) were putting out two Doctor Who novels per month and were looking for more writers. They were willing to accept unsolicited submittals ...
