Where we are right now with all the things

Funded in less than a day, John Campbell's Frozen Hell is well on its way to being one of the most successful crowdfunded books of the year, possibly of all time. Frozen Hell is the original unpublished version of the book that inspired John Carpenter's The Thing. Lost for decades, it was only recently rediscovered by Alec Nevala-Lee. The Kickstarter campaign to fund the book's printing has become wildly successful, expanding to include a new original cover by award-winning artist Bob Eggleton, an audio book read by the renowned voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, an introduction by Robert Silverberg, and a spinoff anthology of short stories by acclaimed and award-winning authors. The anthology, titled Short Things, features cover art by Dan Brereton and includes stories by Kevin J. Anderson, John Gregory Betancourt, Allan Cole, G. D. Falksen, Paul Di Filippo, Alan Dean Foster, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Mark McLaughlin, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Pamela Sargent, Allen Steele,Darrell Schweitzer and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.
Frozen Hell represents an important part of literary history that is being made available for the first time. It is especially fitting that this feat is being done over crowdfunding, allowing thousands of enthusiastic fans to take part in the process of bringing the original Thing story to bookshelves.
