THE BOOK
This Nightmare Kills Fascists is a 176-page black and white horror comics anthology filled with stories reflecting on the state of international politics in 2017. Editors Matt Miner and Eric Palicki envisioned a collection of stories giving contributors a chance to interpret the unease surrounding the current state of the world through the dark lens of horror.
And we asked some of our talented friends to come and play in our sandbox.
THE BOOK IS FUNDED!
We are now rolling out stretch goals, including digital comics bundles featuring additional creator-owned work from the TNKF contributors!

THE ADD-ONS
Want to add a la carte books, stickers or the digital production diary to your pledge? Adjust your pledge by the amount specified in the table below and send me a message so I can add a backer note.
Please, the ADDITIONAL BOOK add-ons are for those already pledging to a reward tier that includes the physical book ($25 and above).
Any extra shipping costs are factored into the amounts.
THE FUNDING
Most of the funds will be set aside to cover production costs and shipping. However, a small portion of the funding goal is intended to provide a substantially reduced page rate to the creators who've decided to join Matt and me on this crazy campaign. Stretch goals are coming and are designed to help us give something more both to you, our generous donors, and to the writers and artists who've come aboard to help us realize this...er, this nightmare.
THE THANK YOU
Thanks to The Gothsicles for use of their song "Unbekannt in Deutschland" in our campaign video. Lean more about the new album at this link.
And, if you've read this far, thank you for considering a pledge to help make this nightmare a reality.
Risks and challenges
The greatest challenge when assembling an anthology is collecting work on time from the creators, especially when many of them are contributing their work to this project at a significantly reduced page rate and have to juggle this alongside their better paying jobs in order to keep the lights on. In order to mitigate the risk of late or missing stories, we've given the contributors ample lead time to deliver their work. We hope to deliver the book ahead of schedule, but our campaign is designed with a long lead to keep from shipping the books late.
