Every conspiracy needs a guy like me. Too bad every conspiracy has one...me. And now someone wants me dead.
Every conspiracy needs a guy like me.
Every conspiracy has one... me.
And now someone's trying to kill me.
When everyone has a motive, everyone is a suspect, and I don't even know who all the players are. It's a race against time to figure out who wants me dead, and why, and how to prevent all the underground conspiracies, aliens, cryptids, and things that go bump in the night from throwing the world into chaos while I'm at it.
Just another normal day at the office, really.

Stretch Goal #5: $3,000
If we make it all the way to a whopping $3k, we'll start giving away some darn cool stuff. First, everyone who's backed for $20 or more will get a golden apple. Yes, a chaos-causing golden apple. If you back for $75 or more, though, you'll get something even cooler: a handmade plush chupacabra. Your very own little bloodsucking demon to cuddle and squeeze and call George!
Plus, if we make it to $3k, every backer will get their very own Conspiracy Assignment. You will receive a text, phone call, email, or letter giving you a certain assignment on behalf of a conspiracy group. Completing this assignment will unlock some other cool rewards...

Stretch Goal #4: $2,000
If we make it to $2,000 in pre-orders, everyone who backs for $25 or up will get a Conspiracy Kit, consisting of a custom dual-sided conspiracy membership card, a tinfoil hat, and a pair of classic black shades to hide yourself from the prying eyes of the uninitiated.

Stretch Goal #3: $1,500
If we reach $1,500 in pre-orders, Justin will get his writing arm in gear again and crank out a tie-in story featuring characters from Mr Blank. It'll go out as a PDF to everyone who backs the novel for $35 or more!

Stretch Goal #2: $1,000
Ye cats, we've already passed the first stretch goal, and still have 28 days left to go! Grab Bag for everyone who backs for $20 or more, and print copies of the "Field Guy" to $45+ backers!
And with one stretch goal down, you know what that means...new stretch goal!
This time, we're going to shoot for $1,000. If we make it, we'll send out special keychains, replicating the weapon used to attempt to murder Our Narrator in the novel. Yes, that's right - you'll get a stone flail keychain of your very own! How can you say no to that?

Stretch Goal #1: $750
If we make it to $750 in pre-orders, we'll give everyone who's pledged to the print release for $20 or more a grab-bag of Mr Blank goodies, plus anyone who backs at the $45 level or higher will get a printed pamphlet of the "Field Guide to Conspiracies" in addition to the PDF version. Score!
