Yes or No? We need your help to decide whether to include a new reward. We are in a position to commission a Frozen Hell themed coin / pendant from Shire Post Mint, who have created official coins and jewelry for things like A Song of Ice and Fire and The Lord of the Rings. We were thinking of having them make a coin with the book's title on one side and an image of the creature on the other. Is this something that you would like to see? The price will be $20 or less, and the reward will take a little longer than the others to fulfill, because Shire Post will have to hand sculpt the new coin and then produce it for us. Help us make the call on this. Do you want us to produce a Frozen Hell coin as a reward and add-on?

We have more things for you !
Frozen Hell will include a preface written by Alec Nevala-Lee, who rediscovered the Frozen Hell manuscript while doing research for his upcoming book Astounding: John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction (Dey Street Books, October 23, 2018).
The story of the Thing is as vast as the universe itself. How many worlds have they visited? How many alien races have they encountered -- and conquered? We are challenging a few choice modern authors to craft their own Thing stories, using elements from "Frozen Hell" and "Who Goes There?" plus their own imaginations. All of these short stories will be given to all of our backers, published as ebooks in Kindle, epub, and .pdf formats.
At $25,000 author G. D. Falksen will write a new Thing story for our backers. Falksen is the author of Doctor Cthulittle, The Transatlantic Conspiracy, and The Ouroboros Cycle series.
At $30,000 best-selling science fiction author John Gregory Betancourt will present a new Thing story bridging the years between "Frozen Hell" and the modern-day sequels he is currently writing.
At $35,000 author Paul Di Filippo will write a new Thing story for our backers. Di Filippo is the author of numerous acclaimed works of fiction, including The Steampunk Trilogy.
We got press!
The Verge just did an article on our campaign and the rediscovery of the book! Check it out here.
