A
group of talented writers are creating a horror anthology. Writers Victor
Wright (Author of Light of Darkness), Jeremy Biggs (Writer
of Bearlands), Nathan
Slack (Writer of Risen) and John Robinson are proud to
announce their new Kickstartercampaign, which kicked off on 7th July.
'The
Geeky Book Of Horror' is an anthology of horror stories like those you
grew up with. All of the stories are new never before published. The twisted
set of tales will suit the demands of today's horror aficionado and will
produce just the right amount of spine chill.
When
asked what the goal of the anthology is meant to be Victor Wright stated
"We wanted to write a book that would chill you to the bone; I think
this does just that!"Wright is the author of the 'Light of Darkness' series
of books and several top selling independent comic titles as well as being
MARsocial 'Author of the Year 2014' runner up and Writers Bureau '2014 Writer
of the Year' runner up. "It's great to be working alongside such
top talent. These guys are gonna freak you out," says Wright about
his co-writers, all of whom have successfully published their own titles. One
of the collaborators for the project is Jeremy Biggs who is not only
the author of Bearlands series but also of the highly successful Kickstarter
campaign - 'Metal Made Flesh'.
The
anthology will be approximately 128 pages and will carry two stories or more
from each writer. As each writer has their own style, artists from all over the
world will be supplying the illustrations. These include Mario Gully (Image
Comics/Marvel)creator
of 'Ant' the hit series by Image Comics and Maxi Quy a
water colour painter living in New York. In order to link each of the stories
in the anthology and in keeping with the theme of horror stories from the past
these illustrations will be in black and white.
Geeky Comics, founded by Victor Wright is an independent
publisher specialising in War, Horror and Crime titles. As an international
team, they bring you the hottest creators in the comic scene. They are based in
the UK, but ship their titles worldwide. In an effort to bring their fans only

negative feedback. Whether you choose to write to them or to speak to them in
person at one of the many comic conventions which they attend every year, they
will not be sorry to see or hear from you and will answer all questions you may

The creators are asking for £6000 to produce the
graphic novel. Backers who pledge £20 will receive a copy of the book, while
the higher tiers will receive artwork, signed copies of the book, merchandise
and much more. If funded, The Geeky Book Of Horror is due for release
