Horrors lurk in the wires, a ship full of headless corpses, a murderous teddy bear and a drowned world ruled by machines. The fate of humanity lies in the hands of haunted technomancer Ian Dedikar and an unlikely group of allies. Will you join them?
In the buzz of the wires you can hear their whispers. In the flickering screens you can glimpse their shadows. In the rotting code you can find their their truths. In the unblinking electric eyes you can find them gazing back at you. They are the things that call the Other-Space home and we all pretend they aren't really there.
Dead God Rising is a dark science fiction thriller set in the 32nd century. This story has been a passion project for years and I am excited to share this story with all of you. I started writing this story in Kabul Afghanistan in 2021. It became my outlet for one of the toughest times in my entire military career as a flight medic.
We are seeking crowdfunding to cover up front printing cost and to compensate the amazing artist James Roach that has helped create the distinct and striking look of Dead God Rising.
We are excited to be cross collaborating with Draconum Studio and their campaign for the amazing 1920s Occult Mystery All That Jazz.

📡 This project is part of the SCI-FI banner
Eight Printopia 2026 creators teamed up under the SCI-FI banner — comics, novels, a novella, an audiobook, a zine, and the true story behind a comic that broke the rules in 1981. Hard SF, science fantasy, and one book that isn't fiction at all.
Back 3+ SCI-FI projects and you unlock the SCI-FI Digital Zine
An exclusive PDF the eight of us built together around this year's theme, Transmission. Artwork, short fiction, and a one-page RPG. Delivered after the event.
