WELL, THAT WAS QUICK...
Friends, I cannot believe I am already typing this update!
In under 36 hours all of you have rallied together, promoted the campaign, and shared the www.LoveStoriesAboutDeath.com, link all over the place, and a a result we have already unlocked the "I Saw Red" Super Stretch Goal!
This means that EVER Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover has now been automatically upgraded to to include the red leatherbound-style cover, the red gilded pages, the red ribbon bookmark, and the Kickstarter Exclusive signed "I Saw Red" autographed bookplates illustrated by the amazing Joshua Ross.
Speaking of which... how about a sneak peek at his AMAZING art on the bookplate in order to celebrate even more, eh? I mean, heck, you all earned it, right?
I'm so very excited that all the hardcovers are being upgraded, friends, and that you're now getting the super-deluxe editions of the book and this stunning bookplate!
Remember, these upgrades (including the autographed bookplate) are all included in ANY pledge level that includes the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover, and they pertain to EVERY Hardcover. If you want this super deluxe edition, make sure your pledge has the hardcover edition in it (or you can add one to any pledge level that includes physical rewards) and you'll be getting red leather, baby! Woo-hoo!
Finally, again, I cannot stress enough how much all these upgrades are so much due to how so many of you have been sharing the link to the campaign with others who may want to join us. Know someone who likes horror, comics, and/or perhaps even some slightly spicy reading? If so, please keep letting people know about www.LoveStoriesAboutDeath.com to bring more people to the party!
I mean, hey, if you know me, you know that I might end-up adding another bonus if we hit another milestone... so let's keep it going!
Again, friends... THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am so very, very excited for this -- and grateful to you!
Your friend in comics, Dirk Manning
We (yes, WE) funded in 10 hours! Here's what next!

WE FUNDED!
I've taken a few hours to write this update because, quite frankly, I've been kind of speechless. Thanks to all of you, LOVE STORIES ABOUT DEATH funded in TEN HOURS, and even now as I write this we're less than $900 away from unlocking the "Super Stretch Goal" which unlocks FOUR upgrades all at once for every Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover. More on THAT in a moment, though. First, I want to say this:
Seriously and sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. It is your support that makes it possible to offer you these books, especially in these deluxe hardcover editions. Speaking of the Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Editions...
HERE'S WHAT'S NEXT!
As I type this we are less than $900 away (or about 10 "Gimme Everything!" pledges) from unlocking the "I Saw Red" Super Stretch Goal... which means this:
If we unlock this Super Stretch Goal, EVERY Kickstarter Exclusive Hardcover Edition of the book will be upgraded to include:
A red leatherbound-style cover
Red gilded pages
A red sew-in ribbon bookmark
A KS Exclusive bookplate signed by me and illustrated by artist Joshua Ross
Again, if we cross this threshold, EVERY Kickstarter Exclusive hardcover in every pledge level (and every one added on to any pledge level) will get all these upgrades FOR FREE, no strings attached.
I'm offering all these upgrades at once because this book has a shorter funding window than normal, and, admittedly, because I didn't think we'd be within striking distance of hitting it within the first 24 hours of the campaign -- not that I'm complaining, of course!
The best way that we can get the hardcovers upgraded is for more (and more) people to pledge to the campaign, so if you know anyone who you think might like this collection of heartfelt horror stories, please share the link www.LoveStoriesAboutDeath.com with them and tell them about the campaign!
Finally, as a special treat to all of you, here's a tiny peek at that gorgeous book plate!
I'll reveal the full bookplate art we unlock the "I Saw Red" Stretch Goal... so keep sharing the www.LoveStoriesAboutDeath.comlink with others who you think may be interested in this book!
Thanks all! Again, I appreciate you all so very, very much!
