Edith "Eddie" Miller has no grand plans or great prospects. She spends her days sleeping in and her nights working shifts at a gas station. But when her younger sister Charlotte fails to come home, Eddie unearths a web of missing girls and rotting bodies. The police prove useless, so Eddie teams up with her best friend, Rainer, in a desperate hunt to find her sister. The only thing is--Eddie believes her best friend might be the Devil himself.
Now the two must work together to discover the truth of what has happened to Charlotte... even if it costs them what remains of their souls.

Available EXCLUSIVELY in this campaign: a special 16-page, 18+ BackerKit-only Something Crawled Out side-comic written by Son M. and illustrated by Dri Gomez. We wanted to give Son the room to plumb the depths of her character’s in a way that is a bit too spicy for print... again, this comic will not appear in print in any form, so get it today before it disappears forever! This tier is for adults only... thanks for backing responsibly.
Content note: Both the primary comic and bonus side-comic contain scenes of intense violence and sexuality, and are not for the faint of heart! See our FAQ section for more info.
We offered the full first issue of Something Crawled Out to our special pre-campaign supporters... now we'd like to offer the same gift to the rest of the world! We'll let everyone read the PDF edition of Something Crawled Out #1 FREE once we hit 100 likes on this Twitter post... won't you help us unleash it?
Something Crawled Out #1 will formally debut in comic book stores everywhere in July 2024! This series is already guaranteed, which means we have no funding goal.
What we crave most is for YOU, the reader, to plunge into the story and meet the characters prior to our official launch... that's what Vault Crowdbuilding campaigns are all about. If you're intrigued, feel free to sign up for convenient digital or physical delivery to follow Something Crawled Out as it releases in shops around the country.
As our list of curious backers grows, the more giveaways and unlocks we'll uncover. And who's to say that we won't unearth more dark secrets along the way? But don't hang back too long. Once the campaign ends, these exclusives disappear without a trace.
