Sound the alarm! We’ve found a killer crowdfunding campaign everyone needs to check out immediately. Death in the Mouth: Original Horror By People of Color is a collection of short horror fiction and illustrations from storytellers around the world.
This work will feature 20 stories spanning from the distant past to the far future, real and fictive worlds, all while exploring new and unique manifestations of horror. Each story will also be accompanied by an original black-and-white illustration by a unique artist.
Death in the Mouth is a BIPOC led project, curated and edited by BIPOC from a variety of narrative traditions who have an appreciation for the weird, the tender and the experimental, says their crowdfunding campaign.
