My friend John Chihak is on a mission. Last year he did a limited run of his Agnew Chainsaw Massacre book through his own Anti-Hero Brand label. I have known John for awhile, interviewed him and reviewed a number of his stories, and I still believe that the book in question is his best effort to date. So, he is trying to attain funding through kickstarter for a proper run so that more folks can see the crazy lil tale that John and friend Venus of Necro put together, homaging Mary Shelley and Jim Henson in equal parts. I know several persons who have tried this through kickstarter, with extremely mixed results. Essentially, anyone and everyone is invited to donate whatever they can towards the cause, with a nice list of happy returns based on the amount given. If the target amount is not reached, then none of the donations will be accepted.
The Agnew Chainsaw Massacre rightly deserves wider exposure. When you hear the phrase "support small press" this is
exactly what is meant.
