More Short Things Just For You
about 6 years ago – Sat, Nov 10, 2018 at 11:42:59 PM

We have received a ton of interest in the Short Things deluxe hardcover edition, far more than we expected. Because of this, we have decided to remove the 1000 copy limit from the reward so that everyone who wants to get a copy can. If more than 1000 people order a copy, either through the reward or as an add-on, we will simply extend the print run to cover it.

However, the Short Things deluxe hardcover edition will remain a Kickstarter exclusive no matter what, so you can only get it through this campaign. After that, no more copies will be printed, so if you want a copy, you have to get it here or as an add-on.

  • Commemorate the rediscovery of Frozen Hell with this Kickstarter exclusive book plate.
  • Don't get lost in the Frozen Hell. Keep your place with this iconic leather book mark, inspired by the horrors of the thing.
  •  A Kickstarter exclusive, this special hardcover edition of the Short Things anthology can only be obtained through this campaign. This reward also includes everything from the Ebook Bundle reward.
  • Frozen Hell Kickstarter Exclusive Book Plate: $3 + free shipping
  • Frozen Hell Leather Bookmark: $5 + $1 US shipping or $1 international shipping
  • Frozen Hell Paperback: $12 + $2 US shipping or $9 international shipping
  • Short Things Paperback: $15 + $2 US shipping or $9 international shipping

One Hundred Thousand Things!

One Hundred Thousand Things!

 We hit over one hundred thousand dollars today, and you know what that means? You all get an anthology! We have hit our stretch goal for Short Things, the anthology of Thing-inspired short stories by acclaimed and award-winning authors. Everyone who pledges to this campaign at the Ebook Bundle level or above will receive an ebook copy of Short Things along with their regular reward. In addition, we have now added a reward option for a paperback copy of Short Things.

 Short Things, an anthology of short stories inspired by John W. Campbell's Frozen Hell, featuring chilling new tales by acclaimed and award-winning authors, including works by Kevin J. Anderson, John Gregory Betancourt, Allan Cole, Paul Di Filippo, G. D. Falksen, Alan Dean Foster, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Mark McLaughlin, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Pamela Sargent, Allen Steele, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and others. This reward also includes everything from the Ebook Bundle reward. Note that all of our backers will receive an ebook copy of Short Things free of charge, but you will have to select this reward if you want a print version of the anthology.

Frozen Hell Pledge Add-Ons
about 6 years ago – Fri, Nov 02, 2018 at 12:45:45 AM

  • Frozen Hell Paperback: $12 + $2 US shipping or $9 international shipping
  • Frozen Hell Audio Book Read By Yuri Lowenthal : $20 + free shipping 
  • Frozen Hell Hardcover: $25 + $2 US shipping or $9 international shipping 
  • Frozen Hell Leatherbound Hardcover: $125 + $2 US shipping or $9 international shipping 

We now have support through BackerKit, which will help make processing your rewards easier and more efficient. This also means you can select add-ons to combine with your reward choices. Here is how to do that. (Please note that you can only do add-ons once you have already made a pledge to the campaign.)

1. Log in to Kickstarter and go to "Manage Your Pledge".

2. Increase your "Pledge Amount" by the cost of the add-ons you want, so that the total is the cost of your selected reward plus all of the add-ons (including shipping for each item).

3. Save your pledge amount. Do not change the reward tier you have already selected.

And that's it. After the campaign is done, we will send out surveys where you can note which add-ons you have paid for in your pledge.
