It’s great, classic weird tales-style fiction set in Appalachia and written in that dialect.

I understand the need for higher prices on print books and shipping, but I dunno how those factors apply to digital goods. Digital goods are zero overhead so you price low to get more pledges in the door?

We badly need RM pulling back into public ownership because it’s getting absurd. I want to do another Kickstarter eventually but each year that passes it seems less and less feasible.

They’re picking up on surface level stuff and focusing on that because they’re still learning to look deeper. Be civil, be open!
