Hello horror fans,

We wanted to let you know that the final proofing and editing pass of the Shanty Red novel is now complete!  The text is off to our production team to be laid out and prepared for printing.  We're also getting the printing plates for the collectors editions together so SA Check can sign and draw his sketches on them.  Things are moving along nicely!  Watch for updates as we move to press and start sending out surveys for shipping.

Here's a message from S.A. Check about the books:

A storyteller is useless without someone willing to hear the tale.  I'd like to personally thank everyone who supported the campaign and helped bring Shanty Red to life.  I'm anxious to get the book in the hands of readers and a big thanks to American Mythology for supporting this project!

-S.A. Check

We are in the final days of the Shanty Red BackerKit program here on BookTopia!  It's been a crazy ride and we're excited to help get these books out into the world.  They are so gloriously creepy and we know you are going to love them!

It's time for a stretch goal!  The author S.A. Check is going to autograph every print copy we send out if we reach $1500 by the time the project ends.  And as a special reward for the backers of the limited edition - he will also hand draw a creepy remarqued sketch on the bookplate of your limited edition!  Those are some fun extras to give a personal touch to these books.  Here's an example of what the remarqued sketch may look like:


We also have a new video of S.A. Check's exploration of the Paw Paw Tunnel!  Check it out here:
