We hope you are having a great holiday. 

We have some fantastic updates for you. First, here are some exclusive previews of the art by Bob Eggleton. Please be aware that these are works in progress and not the finished pieces that will be printed in the book. Remember that thanks to your support, we are able to have Bob create multiple pieces of art for the book, not just the cover. And as you can see, they are looking great!

Addison Anderson is the voice of the audiobook and it's sounding fantastic.

We'll have more updates soon as things continue to progress.

Hope you have a great, healthy, and happy holiday season. We have so much cool stuff on the horizon for you in the New Year.

What's Happening with The Things from Another World
over 2 years ago – Sun, Dec 03, 2023 at 07:41:49 AM

Here is an item by item update of where things stand:

  • BackerKit -- I'm having trouble getting it setup to BackerKit's byzantine instructions. It wasn't this hard the last time I used them. I'll try again next week.
  • Audiobook -- currently being recorded by voice actor Addison Anderson. (He's great AND he's a fan of The Thing!)
  • Ebook -- awaiting artwork from Bob Eggleton. 
  • Other digital rewards: Ready to go.
  • Paperback - awaiting artwork. Otherwise, it's ready to go to the printer.
  • Limited Edition - awaiting artwork, then will be printed with the paperback and shipped to a hand-bindery, who will do the leather binding. Takes a few weeks extra, but worth it.

So, Bob Eggleton is the holdup at this point. As soon as he turns in the artwork, we'll 

We have something for you.
