This looks interesting! Early Haunts: A Graphic Novel Anthology of Early Ghost Stories is being launched as a Kickstarter project by T.W. Burgess.
As you can see there are several different artists involved and it looks very classy. Thom Burgess has contacted me with a press release. If you'd like to contribute to the book's creation, it's on Kickstarter from Monday. Here are some details from the press release:
These stories include
The Death Bride - An Italian Gothic Horror and a primary literary influence to Mary Shelley writer of FRANKENSTEIN.
The Wild Hunter - A German poem which acted as a major inspiration to Washington Irving, writer of SLEEPY HOLLOW.
The Dish House - a Japanese ghost tale, which inspired Sadako in Koji Suzuki’s THE RING
The House in Athens - The first appearance of a ‘chained apparition’, an inspiration to to Charles Dicken’s ‘MARLEYS GHOST.’
These haunting stories, which all have their roots in real life accounts and ancient folklore are lifted and translated from their unwieldy original text and adapted into a more readable graphic novel format to be enjoyed by a whole new audience. All accompanied by the evocative work of four extremely talented illustrators.
A kickstarter for digital and hardback edition of this unique book launches on the 7th September 2020
