Read the Prologue of The Killing Stone

Find out what's got everyone so excited!

Today, I’m sharing a digital download of Origins #2 which is the prologue of the second book of the Mary Shelley’s School for Monsters series, THE KILLING STONE.

The book launch for the complete graphic novel is currently live on Kickstarter.

It took nearly a century, but Dr. M has finally released one of the most dreaded yōkai in Japan - Tamamo-no-mae, the nine-tailed fox. Those close to her call her Mae. Unfortunately, for Shel and team, they are the ones who accidentally trapped Mae in The Killing Stone and left her for dead in the first place. Something the incredibly powerful yōkai might just consider unforgivable.

Monsters that appear in the The Killing Stone (many of which you can read about here on Monster of the Week):

Tamamo-no-Mae - the deadly and powerful nine-tailed fox or kitsune.

Frank - the real monster that inspired Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Necro - the cute and cuddly version of the Necronomicon

Nari - a new student and powerful onryō.

Shel - the supernatural version of Mary Shelley and powerful spellcaster.

Barg or Barghest, the black hound.

Eino, a Firefox.

Dr. M - inspired by Dr. Moreau. He’s mostly human but all villain.

We also have a beautiful campaign raised-dye metal enamel pin that ties into The Killing Stone graphic novel!

Tamamo-no-Mae in her fox form is rarely seen but we've got the image frozen for you to cherish for all time. The campaign enamel pin captures her beautifully in this magical form. All Special Thanks Backers receive this gorgeous 2"x2" glow-in-the-dark enamel pin. It can also be added on to any reward. 

The Rare White Kitsune Glow-in-the-Dark enamel pin add-on in now available. We are only making 100 of this version of the Kistune pin, and you can reserve yours now. The pin is a representation of Mae or Tamamo-no-Mae in her fox form. 

Everyone who backs today on Kickstarter will also receive the first week bonus! The bonus disappears tomorrow.
