Do you want to enjoy good comics while doing a small bit of good? New imprint Slow Feet Comics can help. Their upcoming horror anthology Horror Not Hate goes live on Kickstarter soon, and it doesn’t just feature some high quality horror creators. Proceeds after publishing and KS costs will be split between CHIRLA for Immigrant Rights and Lambda Legal for LGBTQIA+ Rights.

It’s an anthology designed to confront hatred and fascism through a genre we love. On top of chilling but fun comic stories, some great artists contribute to a powerful gallery.

Here’s the lowdown:

Featuring over 200 pages of socially conscious horror stories by Stoker and Shirley Jackson award winner Tim Waggoner, David M. Booher (Ghostbusters), Joshua Pruett (The Last Kids On Earth), Riley Silverman (Doctor Who), Rich Douek (Batman: The Brave and The Bold), Jonathan Hedrick (Recount), J.M. Brandt (Swamp Dogs), Joe Corallo, Frankee White, Joshua Rubin, Jeffrey Schiller, Lan Pitts, Ben Kahn, Holly Interlandi, Levi Cory, Travis B. Hill, Jonathan Chance, Zach Chapman, Moni Barrette, Louis Southard, Cameron Zavala, Ricardo Acevedo, Derek McCaw, Otie Marcus, Lynsey Hutschinson, and Syril Pecson.

Artwork for the comics and the horror gallery in the book stars Skinner (Skincrawl), Francesca Fantini (Stake), Caleb Ady (In Bloom), Rafael Navarro (Bela Lugosi’s Tales from the Grave), Corinne Halbert (Acid Nun), Pat Higgins, Zak Kinsella, Kraig Rasmussen, Gerald Von Stoddard, Evil Jay, Hans Rickheit, D.J. Bryant, Jade Lowder, Kurt Belcher, Vassilis Gogtzilas, Tom Neely, Alan Quirk, Arjuna Susini, Nathaniel Barter, Claudia Balboni, Tom Napolitano, Jacob Ian DeCoursey, Kev Tijerna, Peter Arends, Daisy Church, Jay Kennedy, Jody James Brenton, Kev Mallqui, Hope Dicanio, Russell Frechette, Sam Payne, J. Christopher Schmidt, Justin Weingartner, Devid Le compte, Sammy Ruiz, M.R. Kessell, Marco Fontanili, Austin Baechle, Alex Zief, Vladimir Popov, Damian Felitte, and more.

You may have caught my name there. Yes, I’m returning to writing comics. Collaborating with the inimitable Rafael Navarro and Katherine Renta, we’re reuniting from our work on Bela Lugosi’s Tales from the Grave with an all-new story befitting the theme.
