Tales of Monster Love

Created by John Betancourt

What do Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars and The Thing have in common? Iconic writers who have written for them are all appearing together in a new anthology, Hearts of the Abyss: Tales of Monster Love. We put together the most talented, critically acclaimed and award-winning authors, and told them "Write a story with a monster and a romance, and the rest is up to you." This is what they came up with.

Some more sneak peeks at art
12 months ago – Fri, Apr 11, 2025 at 05:02:35 PM

Some new art to show off and what is coming next. 

Did you know the book includes an interior ex libris? And we have also included a printable one for you to print and use as you like.

 I have been given permission to show you some of the art from John Gregory Betancourt's new Thing story, appearing in the anthology Hearts of the Abyss, which you can still pick up here

The layout is about done and we are just about to go to print so make certain your mailing address and all that is right when doing your surveys, etc. 

Here is an exclusive sneak peek at the cover of our next project.

Make certain you are following us here so you are the first to know when that goes live here on Kickstarter.

Hope you have a great weekend and soon you will have your new books!

Hello everyone, we wanted to let you all know that the anthology is almost complete and ready to ship. All of the stories are in and edited and all of the art has been finalized. We are currently reviewing the final layout for the book and once that gets the green light the anthology will go to print and be shipped out to you soon after.

This means that we are in the last few days for you to make changes or additions to your order in BackerKit. Please confirm that all of your information is correct and that your order includes all of the items you want.

 
We can't wait for you to get your hands on this book! We know you are going to love it.
