Autumn Cthulhu Kickstarter

4

December 2, 2015 by Laird

Mike Davis has initiated a Kickstarter for Autumn Cthulhu, an anthology of cosmic horror and assorted terrors. I think it’s fair to say that title notwithstanding, this is as much a weird fiction anthology as a Lovecraftian collection or anything else.

My contribution is a novelette called “Andy Kaufman Creeping Through the Trees.” Cheer-leading captain Julie Vellum is having a bad year. Her dad is dying of cancer. She sprained her neck on the trampoline. Rival Jessica Mace plans to do her more bodily harm. Worst of all, she’s hired an old pal to impersonate Tony Clifton for a private show. Totally worst idea, ever.

Here’s the ToC:
