I’m going to be seeing which novel to write in November but
need YOUR help (que rousing speech and such), and I’m going to leave it up to
you to decide which one I do. Just leave a tweet at @C_to_the_G, and give me
your answer, and why.
Now you might be thinking, like, “why?”
Yes. Because the best answer will get a free copy of the
finished manuscript, along with some maybe deleted stuff, and will also BECOME
A CHARACTER in it. I’m not saying you’ll have a happy ending, obviously, but
you’ll be there regardless. You’ll be getting stuff that’ll be extra, too, when
the book goes on general sale on Kindle later next year. Plus, you’ll be
mentioned in the dedication at the beginning of the book, just to sweeten the
pie.
So, the options:
·
Eldritch:
A
lovecraftian apocalyptic tale, following the first few months of the end of the
world following something waking up
and ruining the world. It follows, primarily, Toper Jones; but also shows the
effects of martial law, insanity, and also human nature in times of crises.
When a small community begins to crumble, eldritch horrors both ineffable and
more man-made begin to surface.
·
God’s Acre:
A
small graveyard in Minnesota has a secret: The dead folk there don’t stay dead.
A single watcher looks after then, making sure they don’t leave the graveyard,
and putting them back in the ground before sunrise (because “something bad will
happen to them”). Alongside this, a troubled young runaway woman who can see
the dead makes her way across Texas, helping the recently deceased move on –one
way or another.
So those are the two options. Remember, just go to @C_to_the_G and tell me what
book to do, and why. It can be a funny reason, a serious one, a heartfelt one.
And remember, you can read a small short story that was going to be a part of “God’s
Acre” right here on this site. Just head across to the Short Story page and go
to “Oh.Hi.”
Remember what the writer John Waters said. If you go home
with someone and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ‘em.
