WHAT'S NEXT?
We're currently running a final proofread on our digital copy of PROMETHEUS ahead of an eARC campaign to continue promoting this collection of wonderful stories by 16 wonderful authors. When this process is finished, we will begin testing out the printing process.
What can you expect when?
We'll send the post-campaign survey, which includes information like shipping and address, around July 11th 2026.
Those of you who added any eBooks from the curators or contributors to your orders can expect to start receiving these after filling out the post-campaign survey. Be sure to check the email you used for Bookfunnel download links, as ebooks will be sent to you this way! You can expect these a few days after filling out your post-campaign survey. eBook orders for PROMETHEUS will be delivered on release day: October 31st 2026
Depending on the postal services and customs, we are hoping to have our publisher copies by release day so we can ship all physical items out immediately. Items ship from Norway, so depending where you are, you can expect a waiting time of 1-3 weeks for most places.
Can you believe it? The Backerkit for PROMETHEUS will come to an end in only 4 days! Almost 100 people have supported our first anthology so far - thank you so much! You're all wonderful.
We're also really close to the hardcover special upgrade stretch goal! Only 35€ to go! That's seven ebooks or two paperbacks or one hardcover! Isn't that amazing?
Of course, we also have another poll - we've become a bit addicted to these...
We're just one week from the finish line, but Preston wanted to be extra for her extra special backers. We've got a limited number of these hand-crafted bracelets as a last week incentive to help us get to that second stretch goal. What can we say?
We really want our hardcover backers to get fancy printed edges and full-color illustrations... so... what are you waiting for? You can get yourself a copy of this brilliant anthology AND look good doing it.
And if you've already backed... don't worry... you can upgrade your pledge to include this add-on!
Available in two styles: PROMETHEUS or SNAKESKIN... which one will you choose?
... and we put a lot of it into PROMETHEUS so far. We're only 244€ away from stretch goal #2 - which is a wonderful pretty special special hardcover edition for all hardcover backers! We'd love to make this happen - and with 7 days left, it's entirely possible.
Romance is part of PROMETHEUS - not in every story, but a good chunk have couples...and not all of them human. Are you curious what creatures await you? Head over to our poll for some hints, and choose your favorite!
In PROMETHEUS, there are a number of stories that explore revenge in a number of different ways. From tearing down oppressive cyber-systems, to getting long-awaited justice against human oppressors, to becoming the frightening thing. Whether it's a post-democratic society, a space cult or the inside of a computer, these protagonists are ready to stand up for what they believe in... and blood will run.
Prometheusis the first title coming out by Snakeskin Press. This queer futuristic horror anthology features the work of 16 authors and is steeped in queerness, with diverse representation, all the subgenres of horror you can think of, and writing that will chill you to the bone.

These rewards are a "Supporter from the Start" acknowledgement in the book, a high resolution digital anthology wallpaper, a free digital copy of Remnants of Relics anthology, an opt-in for future earlybird Snakeskin e-ARCs, and a digitally signed thank-you letter from our curators! Make sure to follow the project before its launch and secure some exclusive perks.
