Reanimator Incorporated up now on Kickstarter from writers Andy Perry and Lyndon White
Reanimator Incorporated is complete re-imagining of the original H.P. Lovecraft ‘Herbert West: Reanimator’ story. It incorporates Lovecraft stories, mythos and the Outer Gods, blended with Dante’s Inferno, and played out across Earth, Paradise and the Lovecraftian Nine Circles of Hell.
“Imagine a world where death is merely a temporary inconvenience, where consciousness can be uploaded and bodies rebuilt. But what happens when the soul departs, and something else takes its place? “Reanimator Incorporated” explores this terrifying concept, asking profound questions about identity, mortality, and the horrors lurking just beyond our perception.” A Place to Hang Your Cape.
