Dark Is the New Light: Thank You for Your Support!
Coffin Bell is thrilled to announce that our Kickstarter was successfully funded! We owe a debt of gratitude to all who chipped in to back us, shared our Kickstarter, and offered words of support.
Meeting our fundraising goal means that we will be publishing four online issues in 2022 and publishing the print anthology Coffin Bell THREE. It allowed us to pay our business web hosting expenses as well as our submissions manager expenses.
Stay tuned for updates as we begin selecting work for THREE, and stand by for an announcement about how we are re-imagining the print anthologies we publish in the future, from Coffin Bell FOUR and onward.
Thank you all for the overwhelming show of support, and for helping us keep the nightmares alive.
