Kickstarter for ‘Hear Us Scream’ Anthology
Horror has an amazing way of bringing people together through movies, games, and books and an upcoming anthology highlights the personal experiences of those who love horror. A Kickstarter has been launched for Hear Us Scream: Voices of Horror, an anthology of personal essays from the people who love and live the genre. The purpose of this anthology is to share a variety of personal experiences and perspectives across mental health, personal development, journeys through loss and, of course, healing.
According to Cat Benstead, founder and editor of the project, one of the major risks is ensuring that all costs can be covered for the production of the anthology. To overcome this, she is hoping to raise the funds to pay their graphic designer and ensure that their work is explicitly paid for no questions asked. Additional funding goes towards:
ISBN Purchase
Fees associated with uploading books to IngramSpark
Commission Fee for Postcards
Printing costs of postcards
Postage costs of postcards
The anthology Hear Us Scream: The Voices of Horror anthology is scheduled to release October 2021. Spearheaded by Cat Benstead, horror movie content creator and host of TGIF: A Horror Movie Podcast, this volume is planned as the first of a series of anthologies featuring personal essays from those who are part of the horror world. With such an incredible ability to heal, inspire, and influence the experiences of amazing people have so many amazing personal stories to share.
