Dear Trekker Friends,

It’s time for a short, nightmarish change of pace here on our ride aboard THE DARKSTAR ZEPHYR!

You’ve probably heard me talk before about THE CITY OF THE DEAD, the unique digital-only format tale that Karl Kesel and I cooked up for a novelty, one-time-only crossover between Mercy and Karl’s semi-folkloric creation: Johnny Zombie. We had an absolute blast creating this thing, and I’d love for you all to experience it. Until now, I’ve only offered this as part of the complete $40 Add-on reward “The Digital Bundle”. But today of all days, it seems only right and proper to make it available more widely, for those who are strong enough of heart to withstand the thrilling terrors contained within!

So, for the next 13 horrifying hours only, you can add the PDF of “CITY OF THE DEAD,  THE ENTIRE NIGHTMARE” to your rewards at any level by simply increasing your pledge by $5 and sending me a quick message. But you must act before midnight! At the stroke of twelve, Pacific, this deal vanishes! So, head over to TREKKER: THE DARKSTAR ZEPHYR now to add this extra goodie to your holiday haul.

If you’ve never experienced one of these “click-to-advance” format stories, I think you’ll be in for a delightful surprise. Karl and I really pushed ourselves to use this format to bring some fun and novel twists to our storytelling. Any you can only really experience that in this digital PDF.

So, does Mercy really encounter zombies? Is Johnny Zombie real, or just a product of a blow-to-the-head-induced delusion? Well, that would be telling. You’ll have to read the tale, make your own decisions, and decide in the end if this was all a trick or a treat. Or just maybe– both.

Meanwhile, The Zephyr flies on! We’re still working our way toward stretch goals and growing our backer numbers, all to give this series the strongest foundation possible as we continue to tell Mercy’s journey. Glad you’re along for the ride. Just watch out for zombies.
