Let’s raise $2500 to launch the best horror book of the year (hopefully)
Whangarei, Northland
Hi, I’m Mike, Northland NZ creative writer
I'm excited to share my powerful new horror fiction collection, Bloodalcohol, with you. It's almost ready to publish. It's a true literary work of art with hundreds of hours of work behind it, ready to thrill and chill readers. I have a publisher (Next Chapter), who are covering half the cost of publishing but there are a few things that the budget won’t quite stretch to.
- Need help raising money for an outstanding cover
- Need help paying for books in advance so I don't have to import them from printery
- Need help with cost of printed review copies.
The cover artist I've chosen is the talented Siori Katijima (siorikitajima.com/about/). Her vision will powerfully bring attention to the book, and when readers open it, they'll see your name in the acknowledgements.
Your contribution will help pay for Siori's design as well as assist with marketing and printing costs to get this exceptional book in front of the right people.
Again, every contribution helps cover the cost of getting books in your hands, so I don’t go broke ordering books myself (the publisher won’t give me books without getting paid).
How you can be part of this story:
- Donate over $30 and get a PDF of the book
- $60 gets you a signed PRINTED copy of Bloodalcohol
- Donations over $100 get an AUTOGRAPHED, PRINTED copy.
Thanks so much - I can't wait to thank you personally in the book's acknowledgements.
- Mike Botur
Cover, promo, pre-publisher subediting, first 40 books.
Crowdfunding closes June 30; if you requested a PDF, you’ll receive that as soon as you donate; cover and formatting complete by July 31; printed books ready in September. Halloween launch.

To support the crowdfunding campaign for 'Bloodalcohol' - the new horror story campaign - you're invited to sit by the fire and enjoy two spooky stories from the forthcoming book read by the author, Michael Botur.
Last time people were thrilled by two tales, so let's do it again. It's really important I sing for my supper, proudly perform these stories - and I'm eager to learn which ones thrill the audience the most.
> You're invited to choose your story for the night > Entry by donation to the crowdfunding campaign.
Pay in advance or at the door, on the night (pay via GiveALittle)
