Machina Corpse's First Offerings Kickstarter Details: Press Release: "Machina Corpse, a spooky comics company, is co-created by comic creators Chandra Free and Stephen Emond, and we look to create a new home for our work and others and to build a community of fellow spooky-lovers. Our interests lie in odd, dark, funny, beautiful stories; personal passion projects from creative minds with ideas a little too twisted to publish elsewhere. We want to show there's an audience looking for creator-driven spooky comics. We want to pay each creator a page rate and publish creator-owned material with transparency and partnership through the process.

What we hope to accomplish with our Kickstarter: Free and Emond are creating Machina Corpse's First Offerings themselves to lay Machina Corpse’s foundation. In addition to helping build our company, our audience will receive our First Offerings, a 36-page comic book, with 12 pages by Free, 12 by Emond, and another 12 of bonus art, behind the scenes information and a look to the future of Machine Corpse. This will be available as a PDF and print comic, and we'll be offering other incentives such as Free’s comic, Lonely, BK, is about Seline, a woman who struggles with relationships, friends, the city, and being a hungry vampire. And Emond's title 1983, is a sequel to an upcoming graphic novel involving a family and a demon that nests in broken souls.

First Offerings will be available before the end of the year."

    About the Author - Tamika Jones

    Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.

    The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
