The awesome folk at YSDC have a BIG project in the works!
From yog-sothoth.com-
Remember YSDC's Horror on the Orient Express game? Well fast-forward a few years and now that particular version of HotOE has been turned into a novel by Nick Marsh (Soul Purpose, Past Tense, The Ancients). The book has been written and we're now holding a Fundraiser/Pre-order to get it published.
We've done astonishingly well out of the gate (1/3 of target raised in less than 24 hours - thank you, all) and reaching our goal helps us bring you a very handsome, illustrated edition of a novel that has been extremely well received by advance readers.
Supporting the fundraiser means you can get a range of extra benefits with the possibility of some interesting "stretch goals". Want to know more? Read on...
‘And so, my friends,’ he said, looking back at each one of us in turn, ‘It falls to me to pass this burden to someone other than myself. I dare not ask, yet I hope that you will take it for me. The statue must be recovered and destroyed before these men find it.’
Europe, 1925. The continent still licks its wounds from the devastating war that raged across it a few years before. Meanwhile, in London, an ageing professor has uncovered the clues to the whereabouts of pieces of an ancient statue, all but forgotten by history.
When his investigations lead him to fear for his life, he enlists the aid of an unlikely group of allies; a retired colonel, a secretive academic, a magician’s wife, and a Yorkshire matriarch and her reluctant assistant.
Together they will journey across Europe to recover the long-lost statue. They will travel in style, on the most luxurious train the world has ever seen. Unbeknownst to them, however, their activities have already attracted the attention of a sinister cult, desperate to acquire the artefact for their own dark purposes, and now a terrible creature, trapped for centuries, senses that the opportunity for revenge has come at last...
THE EXPRESS DIARIES is a tale of a journey into darkness and horror on the world's most famous train.
We've set a target of $5,500 (US) to cover the initial print run (published in England, RRP £24.95). The Octavo Royal format hardcover book will be as deluxe as we can possibily make it, including: printing on cream bookwove paper, ribbon bookmark, head and tail bands, spine blocking, dustjacket, printed endpapers, 16 full colour pages of illustrations and more in the text.
By supporting this fundraiser/pre-order you will essentially:
Get it first.
Get it cheaper.
Get your name in the book.
Get exclusive extras.
