The Veneziad - Special Edition Hardcover

A Look at the Cases! And a Campaign Shout-Out!
8 months ago – Mon, Oct 27, 2025 at 09:47:51 AM

Hi there everyone!

We've got some exciting news to share with you all today: the case proofs came in! Yaaay! For any who don't know, the cases are the rigid exterior cover of the book that's made separately from the text block and attached later! Take a look!

The cases are a gorgeous shade of red - super vibrant! The gold also accents the color and will give these books an almost antiquated feel. No matter how you choose to display these editions, they'll catch the attention of any who glance their way!

Don't worry if this picture looks alarming! You never get to see this portion of the book - that's because this interior is always covered by the text block (along the spine of the book) and the endsheets (the larger flat surface of either side). We thought it would be cool to give you folks a glance at this portion of production; we hope it was enlightening!

Now, for a campaign shout-out...

The funding period is drawing near for another Wraithmarked campaign: Bram Stoker's Dracula! This is our current project - perfect for the month of October! Take a look below!

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries in his client's castle. Soon afterwards, disturbing incidents unfold in England: a ship runs aground on the shores of Whitby, its crew vanished; beautiful Lucy Westenra slowly succumbs to a mysterious, wasting illness, her blood drained away; and the lunatic Renfield raves about the imminent arrival of his 'master'. In the ensuing battle of wills between the sinister Count and a determined group of adversaries—led by the intrepid vampire hunter Abraham van Helsing—Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre, probing into questions of identity, sanity, and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

This is only a sneak peek! You can take a look at the whole campaign HERE! The final days are fast approaching... with only 4 days left on the live campaign to snag some super cool bundles and great discounts, we urge folks who are interested to back sooner than later!

A Look Inside!

Hi there folks!

While we're still ruminating on a little freebie gift to you guys for your patience regarding the delays, we wanted to take a moment to show you some of the development side of things! Below are WIPs of the endsheets for The Veneziad! Take a look!

The endsheets are the first thing you see when you open the book as well as the very last, so we wanted to make sure they stood out and really provided atmosphere to this story. Most of you are familiar with this art, so we wanted to show y'all where it would be in the book!
