With only two days left to back Tales from the Cryptids, join us on our Backerkit page tonight at 7pm ET/4pm PT for a treat (and maybe a few tricks) as Nat and Brigitte chat with Will Roth of Creature Publishing for our final Tales from the Cryptids campaign livestream!
Brigitte, Will, and Nat
We are thrilled to collaborate with Creature Publishing to offer a special Creature's Cache reward tier for this campaign.
Founded in 2019, Creature Publishingis a rad small press specializing in feminist, queer, and trans horror, dark speculative fiction, women-driven thrillers, and spooky fantastical and literary fiction.
Here's a little bit more about them:
Creature Publishing was founded in 2019, and publishes stories with an inclusive, transgressive, and intersectional understanding of what horror is and who can make it. From the beginning, we’ve embraced cathartic, subversive, socially conscious, and innovative writing that widens readers’ understanding of the world. Our books have won or been finalists for the Bram Stoker Award, the Ladies of Horror Fiction Award, and the Foreword Indies; most recently, THE SCALD-CROW and MY LIPS, HER VOICE were named to the 2025 Stoker preliminary ballot, and ROOT ROT was #5 on the NYPL's Best Horror of 2025.
With this discounted Creature's Cache bundle, you not only receive Tales from the Cryptids and three Scryptid Games releases featuring weird punk creatures and ecosystems, you also receive Mine: An Anthology of Bodily Autonomy Horror from Creature Publishing, which includes 16 original horror stories exploring the ownership and control—or lack thereof—that we have over our bodies.
Hang out with Nat, Brigitte, and Will tonight to learn more about both anthologies, hear what's new at Creature Publishing, and nerd out about queer and feminist horror!
At this level, we’ll increase the page count by 20 pages, from 120 to 140! That means we’ll be able to say yes to more game designers, fiction writers, and poets when we open to submissions this spring.
