WonderBird Press is  ramping up for our upcoming presale Kickstarter: Murderbugs and Monsters, which will have two new anthologies:

• Murderbugs, the second installment of the Unhelpful Encyclopedia series, featuring 20 stories about bugs and intent to kill. (Check out our preview story page for sneak peaks.)

• The Vampire Survival Guide, the first in our Monstrous Guidebook series, which will include valuable anecdotes for vampires trying to survive in a human-infested world.

Kickstarter rewards tiers will include electronic and physical versions of either (or both) anthologies, as well as add-ons for emerging authors (short story assistance and workshops), Tuckerizations (your name in a story), and more.

​

A free preview story, "You Are the Mother of Doomsday" by Desmond Astaire

is now available.
