Lovecraftian – Joe Monson – SF Editor & Author

You may not have known about it, but the day we’ve all been waiting for is almost here! The Kickstarter for The Horror at Pooh Corner begins tomorrow, Thursday, February 16, at about 9:00am Mountain Time.

I really want this project to be successful because it will allow Hemelein to do more pro-pay projects in the future. I’ve received so much for the writing community through working with all of you on all my past projects, as well as reading so many stories by you. This means that the more people who back the project, especially in the first 24 hours, the more likely it is to succeed and build organic buzz about the project.

Will you help it get off to an amazing start by sharing this information with your friends, family, and anyone else you think might be interested? I’ve attached an image you can use to help promote it. I’ve also included some text (below) that you can use when promoting it.

Here’s the text you can use:

The Hundred Acre Wood has been part of the consciousness of the world for a very long time. For most of the history of the world, it existed on the fringes of awareness, just there, in the corner of your eye. In the early days of the Twentieth Century, a well-meaning fellow by the name of Alan Milne recorded some of the adventures of the denizens of that fell place, though he did brighten the real stories a bit in order to appeal to the children of the day. Now, the real stories can be told.

The dark truth of heffalumps and woozles, what the bees are really hiding, what happened to all the adults, the story behind Pooh’s obsession with hunny, what caused Eeyore’s gloomy outlook, why Piglet is horribly afraid all the time, why Kanga and Roo really came to the Hundred Acre Wood, what Pooh and Christopher Robin discovered at the North Pole, why Eeyore’s tail must be kept attached, the significance of red birthday balloons, what caused the great flooding of the Wood, the true purpose for Pooh poetry compositions, the story of Owl’s Uncle Robert, and more. These are the kinds of stories you can expect in The Horror at Pooh Corner anthology.

These are stories terrifying and humorous (sometimes both). The veil between insanity and the Hundred Acre Wood is thin, and cosmic horrors and other fell beings frequently cross over. Find here the true stories of how these encounters affect the denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood.

I’m looking forward to continuing to work with all of you in the future, and thank you very much for sharing this information far and wide!
