I was so happy to see Colleen Douglas at MCM London Comic Con last weekend. But she has a busy schedule right now, and a very big week ahead of her. First, she is the Collection Editor curating stories for Second Sight Publishing's Shook: A Black Horror Anthology Vol 2 – Songs of the Dark Sirens.
It is up on Kickstarter but appears to have come to a little bit of a stall. It has raised $14,896 from 102 backers against a goal of $20,000 with only two days to go. Colleen Douglas may have been able to use her upcoming Thought Bubble appearance to help push this, but that will be three days too late. Bleeding Cool has had a decent track record of helping crowdfunded campaigns make it over the finish line, sometimes with hours to spare, maybe we would be able to help this time as well?
The first volume will be out through Dark Horse Comics in January, but the sequel will be out sooner on crowdfunding. COO of Second Sight Publishing, Marcus Roberts says "we have brought in people like Alitha Martinez, Tananarive Due, and Micheline Hess to name few, to pass the baton to and let them carry things forward." And that also included bringing in Colleen Douglas, to write a story, Pegana- Rim of the Worlds, (two pages of which, drawn by Luis Czerniawski and Andrea Messi run below) and edit the book. "Bringing in a veteran like Colleen as editor on this project was definitely something we needed to push the envelope", says Bradley Golden, CEO Second Sight Publishing. The lineup of writers and artists for s Shook: A Black Horror Anthology Vol 2 – Songs of the Dark Sirens also includes Rebecca Wanzo, Raeghan Buchanan, Shakealia "Shake MacAudacious" Finley and Julie Anderson, who drew the (work in progress) cover above.
And he is also working on the Racecraftian Gods story with John Jennings. And, of course, continuing as an editor for Scout Comics. Busy, busy, busy Colleen Douglas!
