Thanks to your generosity, Vortex Books & Comics will begin setting up our new annex tonight, which will soon allow us to host even MORE writer events, book signings, readings, game and movie nights, etc. https://t.co/HLJzw9FsrS Keep it coming!

Five and a half months ago, we opened Vortex Books & Comics. It was a stressful undertaking made easier by knowing that so many of you had our back. Today's announced expansion of Vortex has been less stressful for that same reason. Thank you all.

Listen to "Why DEAD FORMAT Is Not Your Average Horror Love Letter" by Dark Bites.

Death is just the beginning… The initial Dead Format campaign has ended, 106% FUNDED BY 495 OF YOU! Please read my giant update below. I fucking love you all.

Officially 2 days left :) You can still pre-order a Blu-ray, t-shirt, or one of our limited edition props. https://t.co/1wSRrqavvr

This week's Vortex Books & Comics n*wsletter just went out. In addition to the weekly bestseller list, there's a party invite and a Top Secret thing we won't mention anywhere else. Address at bottom of image.

Down to 2 days of the Dead Format campaign! Things are picking up and we are now sold out of the Dead Format VHS and Video Castle shirts are now half gone. Grab your perks while they last! https://t.co/CZwYcdbpmt

Over on Patreon, we've spent the last two days discussing the health of the current horror small press, and red lights/green lights. Join us! Five bucks a month gets you access to THOUSANDS of things to read and watch, because I post daily. https://t.co/745Ue0zgQD

I don’t know @ReelSplatter but I wish I did because he is incredibly real and so enthusiastic in this video. I just had to donate again because I have a feeling that DEAD FORMAT is going to be a classic! (And I wanted a tee shirt!) @BrianKeene @DamianMaffei

These are now sold out, but Blu-ray pre-orders are still available :)
