Carnage on Cape Cod
Carnage on Cape Cod is a Lovecraftian double-volume adventure set, located in a fictional (or perhaps, forgotten?) coastal town, where something always lurks in the corner of your mind.
It features an interactive Solo TTRPG novel, along with a traditional adventure adaptation that you can run for your friends after experiencing it on your own.
Both books in the set are standalone and can be separated to suit your tastes and needs.
Not a fan of interactive novels? Pick up the classic TTRPG module alone!
Not into shared TTRPG sessions? Enjoy it by yourself with just the single-player option!
Carnage on Cape Cod explores themes of death, poetry, love, struggles with anxiety, inner voices, and much more. It does so through memorable characters, vivid storytelling, nightmares, and your direct decisions, all the while the Great War ravages the world.
Volume 1
Interactive Solo TTRPG novel is your Game Master.
A horror mystery of 135,000 words, with over 900 story entries and 20 paintings that tailor a personal journey, letting you experience 450 entries per read on average, and saving the rest for consecutive replays. Countless options and numerous skill checks will drive the narrative forward and shape your character as you progress. The entire PDF will be hyperlinked for accessibility and easy navigation.
Volume I expands on the classic interactive novel format by adding various RPG elements and optional journaling to fully flesh out your investigator and their plight, should you wish to do so
Volume 2
TTRPG adventure scenario holds all a Game Master needs to run this mystery horror- a complete campaign with choice-dependent variations, timelines, backstories of all important characters, their motivations, their portraits, and player handouts.
Carnage on Cape Cod is a system-independent game that comes with its own set of rules, character sheet, and it’s played with six-sided dice.
A system conversion to Basic Roleplaying System (BRP) is also included.
The length of the campaign is 6-9 sessions, and it is suitable for 1-6 players.

The DC Art of BRUNO REDONDO – A Deluxe Art Book and more!
New Clover Press hardcover art book collecting the amazing DC artwork of Eisner winner Bruno Redondo plus Kickstarter exclusives
Clover Press proudly presents the second volume in the DC Art of… series, a line of high-end boutique art books showcasing the very best artists to craft the DC multiverse.
Three-time Eisner Award-winning artist Bruno Redondo has built a world-class career perfecting the look of DC Comics in the 21st century. After making a name for himself on titles like Human Target (with Len Wein), Push, and Batman: Arkham Unhinged, he joined his Star Wars: Darth Maul collaborator Tom Taylor (DCeased, All-New Wolverine) to take the reins of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Together the pair elevated a digital-first video game tie-in comic to a fan-favorite series that also earned stellar reviews. Over the course of five compulsive years, weaving through the narrative of two bestselling fighting games, Injustice and its sequel series earned a fiercely devoted readership while expanding on a world that redefined the possibilities for DC’s characters. The scope and tenure of the story also provided the perfect testing ground for Bruno to experiment with and hone his signature style of fluid, unencumbered pencil work combined with a precision sense of design. After Injustice’s conclusion, Bruno lent his name to other high-profile DC series, including Justice League (with Scott Snyder), Titans (with Dan Abnett), and Suicide Squad (again with Tom Taylor). Then came Nightwing.
Now, The DC Art of Bruno Redondo collects the very best work from the first era of an already impressive career. With over 200 pages, this healthy 9”x12” volume highlights Redondo’s defining runs on Injustice and Nightwing, as well special selections from Justice League; Batman: Black & White; Harley Quinn: Black, White & Red; DC Universe Online; and much more! Plus, never-before-published commissions from Bruno’s extensive portfolio! Available in Clover Press’ traditional options of Hardcover, Dust Jacket, Slipcase, and Signed Slipcase editions, and featuring an introduction by Bruno’s frequent creative partner, #1 New York Times-bestselling writer Tom Taylor!

NIGHT MOVERS: A Psychological Thriller Set in Modern Japan
A complete 72-page psychological thriller graphic novel with a gut-punch ending you won’t see coming.
Night Movers is a psychological thriller set in modern-day Japan, where a young English woman living abroad wakes up one morning to discover that her boyfriend has vanished.
Not just missing…Erased.
No note.
No struggle.
No explanation.
An apartment stripped bare, like he was never there at all.
A woman alone in a foreign country, chasing the last trace of the man she loves.
What begins as a search for answers becomes a one-way fall.
This isn’t a loud, explosive thriller. It’s a quiet spiral into obsession that drags Stacy into the shadowed backstreets of the city, forcing her to become someone she never thought she’d be. Urban legends blur with reality. Hidden subcultures operate in plain sight. Neon streets give way to alleys no one talks about. Every door she opens leads somewhere darker.
This is a story about crossing invisible lines.
About love turning into fixation.
About grief mutating into resolve.
And about what happens when you chase the truth far enough that it starts chasing you back.
A slow-burn journey into Japan’s unseen underbelly, where hope becomes a liability, trust is a currency, and some discoveries change you forever.
By the end, you won’t just question what happened to him.
You’ll question every choice she made to find him.
