Southern Gothic: Chapter Eleven

Can Such Things Be?

Hello y’all—

It’s good to have you back for another spine-tingling chapter of Southern Gothic!

We’ve REALLY enjoyed hearing from you after our last installment took us into Faulkner Country! To answer one fan question: how long did it take me to learn to spell Yoknapatawpha? Let’s just say I compulsively check it every single time I write it out. Still.

Please continue to send us your thoughts about Southern Gothic to thenewfuturists@gmail.com. As always, remember to include “Southern Gothic” in the subject and if you’re okay with your letter being featured in a future installment of The Purloined Letters please indicate “OKAY TO PRINT.”

It’s almost the end of March, which means our Visionary subscribers can expect a message about 2023 rewards soon. We’ll also have an update about a very special reward that we are excited to send all paid subscribers in 2023! And we are in the process of developing some really fun merch — like the Southern Gothic cornerbox stickers above! Have an idea for some New Futurists swag? Drop us a comment below or send us a message!

If you’re interested in joining Special Agent Grant in his investigation, consider a paid subscription. Below today’s paywall, you’ll receive the unredacted versions of all of the chapter 11 documents, a behind-the-scenes look at the chapter 11 cover, and preview pages of Ezequiel’s line work for chapter 12!

One quick shout-out: you know Rafael Grimaldi as our awesome color flatter for Southern Gothic. Check out the gorgeous full color work he did for the chapter 11 cover below!

And finally, do remember that Southern Gothic is a horror comic and is not suitable for all readers. Chapter eleven features depictions of blood, arson, gun violence, psychological horror, murder, substance abuse, torture, and supernatural horror. Reader discretion is advised.
