The Dead Roots Kickstarter Has A Hell Of A Lot Of Bite!

Dead Roots editor Mike Garley writes:

The Dead Roots Kickstarter is lurching towards its triumphant finale…

This anthology proves that there's still life left in the zombie genre, as its character focused stories take a deeper look at our society within its forty unique stories!

[Mike Garley, Rebecca Morse]

And with reviews like "Dead Roots is flawless from concept to content" from Bleeding Cool, there's no wonder that this shared-world zombie anthology has not only already reached its modest £6,000 funding goal, but has also been eating stretch goals alive.

Thanks to the horde of Dead Roots backers, the anthology now features an all-new story by acclaimed author Adam Christopher (Empire State, The Age Atomic, The Burning Dark), pin-ups by Nich Angell and Andy Bloor, and a four-page exploration of zombies, entitled 'The Contextualization of the Dead' by horror aficionado Dr. Shaun Kimber (Senior Lecturer in Media Theory at Bournemouth University, author of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and co-editor of Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media).

If that isn't impressive enough, Dead Roots is closing in on a pin-up by the incredible Dean Beattie AND an additional six-page story by the legendary 2000AD and Judge Dredd editor, and writer of various comics including The Phantom!

Dead Roots can already boast a whole host of impressive up and coming creators as well as established creators from TV, film, comics, and games such as Eric Canete (Iron Man, Luke Cage, Superboy), Andrew Ellard (Red Dwarf, IT Crowd, Miranda), James Henry (Green Wing, Smack the Pony, Campus), James Moran (Doctor Who, Severance, Cockneys VS Zombies), Jason Arnopp (Doctor Who, Friday The 13th, Stormhouse), and Gordon Rennie (Judge Dredd, White Trash, Necronauts).

With just a few days left, this may be your last chance to get your hands on this dead-good anthology! There's loads of great pledge goals available, from PDF downloads, to the opportunity to appear within the anthology itself! Putting it simply: Come get some!
