Advanced autographed copy of the book, with an inscription inside, probably consisting of sentimental appreciation and slight sarcasm.

Pledge $35 or more Pledge $35 or more

2 Backers

An exclusive 8x10 print. Contains 1 of 3 early renditions of the cover. Comes inscribed on the front or back with whatever you want. Nobody will ever see these pictures besides you, and me, because they're on my computer, and maybe someone who looked on my computer. But that's it. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!! Also you will get a handwritten synopsis for the sequels (which won't be out for awhile).

Pledge $40 or more Pledge $40 or more

Autographed copy of the book, Poster, Acknowledgment, and PDF download. This is like liability insurance, it will almost cover what you need.

Pledge $80 or more Pledge $80 or more

2 Autographed copies, 2 posters, acknowledgment, and a PDF download. Maybe this is more like liability insurance? Maybe not.

Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more

4 Backers

2 autographed copies, 2 posters, a more extensive acknowledgment, PDF download, a handwritten page from the book, & a PDF download of 5 short stories.

My name is Jason Stryker. Writing is my passion, a lesser passion is playing hot lava tag at the park. To date I've written 5 novels and a novella, and am sneaking my way into indie film production as we speak. Creating something meaningful to someone has always been my goal, even if it is just cheering them up at a low point in their life.

I live in small town Minnesota, enduring below zero temperatures with my wife and cat named Penguin. We eat a lot of macaroni and cheese, tater tots, and tuna fish. In the summer we cross our fingers that we don't have to turn the air conditioner on. Obviously, we're not rich but both striving towards our artistic goals.

I'm a horror/cult movie buff, indie romantic comedy fan, and an Arnold action film follower. I also enjoy the occasional bad movie, reading about "fictional" things such as ghosts and dabble in cryptozoology. Taco Bell is also good. I love their constantly rotating dollar menu.
