Classic Monster Anthology Launches on Kickstarter: League of Monsters Brings Everyone’s Favorite Universal-Style Monsters Into the Pulp Era

GAINESVILLE, GA – Author, editor, and indie publisher James Palmer has unleashed the monsters once more. But instead of the giant kaiju variety, these beasties are a little closer to home. 

League of Monsters is the tale of some of your favorite classic monsters who join forces to fight a remnant Nazi splinter cell in post-war America, chiefly the 1950s. Wealthy industrialite Moira Harker, great-great granddaughter of Mina Harker, has brought together Count Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, a reluctant wolf-man, and a missing link gill creature and his beautiful telepathic handler, marine biologist Stephanie Gordon, to cross the globe battling all manner of supernatural threats. 

Bringing these pulse-pounding tales to life is a veritable hoard of award-winning writers including Bobby Nash (Snow Fall, Suicide Bomb), Teel James Glenn (A Cowboy in Carpathia: A Bob Howard Adventure), and Russell Nohelty (Katrina Hates the Dead, Cthulhu is Hard to Spell).

“Many of my author friends really fell in love with the idea and promised to send in stories, more than I had room for in one volume,” says Palmer. “I guess I’ll have to publish subsequent volumes to contain them all.”

For the cover, Palmer tapped none other than multiple Rondo Award-winning classic horror artist Mark Maddox. 

“I wouldn’t dream of doing an anthology like this without Mark,” says Palmer. “His work is classic horror, and I couldn’t be more excited that he agreed to do the cover. It looks amazing, as I knew it would.”

Kickstarter backers apparently agree, because the campaign fully funded in less than 24 hours. But there is still a way to go and a couple of stretch goals to hit. The first stretch goal is $1,500. If that one is reached, Palmer will write an original story called “Date Night of the Living Dead.” 

“I have lots of great add-ons and cool stretch goals,” says Palmer. “I really want to make this a no-brainer. This is a cool anthology that people are going to love, and I’d like as many folks as possible to be a part of it.”

This is Palmer’s fourth Kickstarter project, and the third one to successfully fund. 

“Kickstarter has been a game-changer for me. It lets you do things that might be cost-prohibitive to do otherwise.”

The Kickstarter campaign for League of Monsters runs for 28 more days [ed. note: from 5/10], and until midnight EST on Tuesday, May 16th you can get ebook add-ons for only $1. To check out the campaign head over to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kaijuking/league-of-monsters
