Dead Craft: Issue 1 (First Printing)

$5.00

Don’t Let Dead Craft Into Your Brain

A millennia after man went extinct, animals learned to harness the power of the dead. Those caught practicing Dead Craft are locked in tight cages, dangling over the clouds at the edge of the world. Anyone who falls into the clouds is lost forever. In this issue, we find Mr. Specktacle, an octopus in a space helmet, locked away here at Cloud Dungeon. Today, the guard has gone missing, and something is chewing through the old tree branch that holds Specktacle’s cage.

 

This first printing is limited to 100 copies.

HEAR MY WARNING

Do not be tempted by the magic of Dead Craft. It brings only suffering. Leave man’s infernal machines buried in the dirt with their creators. These machines powered by liquid death, and the most gruesome ones composed of the body parts of their neighbors, can only bring destruction to animal kind. Heed the words of our grandparents, “Do not go digging in the dirt.”

Trigger Warnings

Death, cancer (I know this story sounds like a downer, but it's funny too, and the characters are fun to spend time with.), grief, the extinction of humans, the word "squish", claustrophobic scenes, the apocalypse, talking animals, corpses, mutilation (What kind of a sicko made this?), eating bugs (They're animals. Animals eat bugs. You don't have to eat the bugs.), imprisonment, dysfunctional medical industry, a goat (Some people don't like goats. They eat stuff they're not supposed to eat. A goat ate my dad's hunting license once. Kinda poetic, right? That's animal solidarity. My dad didn't like that goat.), puns, mixing genres (Sorry, librarians. You are heroes, and you deserve better!), drugs, capitalism, graffiti, rude gestures, tentacles, monsters, fish heads (Actually, a whole fish that appears to be the head of a humanoid. It's like… never mind. You'll have to read the story.), a worm that eats corpses (But only the recently deceased.), doctors, scat (That one bothers me too.), the words "squishing," "squisher," "squished," etc. (Seriously, it is said a lot.), ghosts, crows (a.k.a. The Harbinger's of Death), medical diagrams, captchas, bodybuilding… What are you still reading this? You could have finished the book by now.
