Changing Horror's Stigma

[brownie]

Creature House Publications is a NON-PROFIT horror publisher devoted to changing the horror stigma and giving back to the community. Profits from our books will be donated to a variety of resources; from foundations to schools, every cent we make is for the betterment of society. Thank you for supporting us!

 Editor/Founder

Together, we, as a genre, can help make the world a better place. Too often we are misplaced in society; this is our chance to support both our genre and to change the stigma! I'll be teaming up with several authors this year (including some genre favorites), pushing boundaries and creating low-cost eBooks that everyone can enjoy. ONE HUNDRED percent of profits are donated, and I'd appreciate everyone that can to check my digital press out! Good friend and author Mark Allan Gunnells is the inaugural featured writer...and there is much more to come!

What do you guys think of a non-profit press?

Anyone that gives feedback (or throughts, ideas, reflections, etc...) will be messaged a coupon code to get IMMURE GHOSTS, our first official release, for only A BUCK. Check it out! (And if you still can't afford a buck a free story from the collection, "The Price of Survival", is available for FREE!)

Wonderful idea, Vicente! Think you'll ever do real books for us tree-killin', job savin', old skool readers?

I was thrilled brownie asked me to participate in this project.  It is all for a good cause (or causes} and I hope people enjoy the tales.

Like Mark, I'm a non-eBook kind of guy, but I wish you success on your new venture. 

The non-profit approach is interesting.  Since most of the papers filed with the IRS to obtain and maintain your Charitable Organization status is open to public inspection, are these papers posted online for us to see?

Not yet, but they will be! Our official website has not been finished yet. There will be a page regarding the charitable status of the company to see, along with pictures from the various schools, museums, and foundations we help.

I'm just getting my e-book legs under me, so I'll definitely participate in this.  I look forward to seeing how it goes for you, brownie.  Best of luck!!

And this kid is in high school.  HIGH SCHOOL!  I wasn't doing anything in high school but scratching my butt and writing really bad melodramatic poetry.

Vicente asked me to participate too. I'm really excited for the project.

Going to WHC 2012 only confirms the fact that horror fans in general are not the monsters that they read about. So many nice people. The same can be said of many horror writers that I haven't met. The fact is, the rest of the world sees us as a bunch of weirdos (which we may be to some extent), but so many of us are nice weirdos that care.

Hopefully one day...right now I just can't afford to jump-start that segment of the business! I make no profit--but I'm working on acquiring a grant for some small print runs!
