Hello there. Time for a little self-promotion here at Cinemastance. Thanks to an overwhelming number of backers, my most recent book project, Monster Atlas Volume 1: The Americas, was a great success.
That means that Monster Atlas Volume 2 is on the way and a Kickstarter campaign has already begun. The link below will take you to the page and provide a more detailed video on the project featuring artist and co-author Greg Hyland.
The campaign ends on Tuesday, April 30th at 8:05 pm PST.
This edition covers the UK/Ireland, as well as Nordic countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. It clocks in at about 150 full color pages and covers various monsters from myth, cryptozoology, film & TV as well as literature (and in case you’re wondering, don’t worry, the rest of Europe will be covered in future volumes).
This one’s chock full of some of the world’s most famous creatures. It features monster write-ups, along with detailed maps showing where they’re all found and some splash pages as well.
Right now the campaign has already met its initial funding goal and few couple of stretch goals, which include more incredible art by Gerhard (Cerebus).
However, there’s still one incredible addition yet to be unlocked. The book is already great, but we’re so close to funding some extra images from John Kovalic (Dork Tower, the Munchkin card games).
Prices are listed in Canadian funds, but essentially, you can pick up a softcover copy of Volume 2 for as little as $34 US (including shipping!) and a PDF version goes for only $11 US dollars.
And if you’re interested in catching up on and/or grabbing Volume 1 too, you can do so here.
Hurry, time is running out to help get every element funded and pick yourself up a copy!
