This week's Kickstarter alert is for a book we talked about a few years ago on the show that I really enjoyed. Michael Leal's Curse of the Vessel is a supernatural revenge story that Michael himself describes as a "haunted Reservoir Dogs."
Here's the synopsis for Curse of the Vessel:
Vincent Faustino has become an involuntary vessel for the dead.
Once a brutal mafia enforcer, now his life is not his own. He has been branded with a magical sigil that allows spirits to possess his body at will. On the run from both his deadly former associates and law enforcement, he is wanted for murders and events he has no memory of. Vincent relentlessly hunts the man who cursed him, continually being hijacked by restless spirits who have their own personalities and agendas, both good and evil.
This is the torture he must endure. This is the punishment for his evil past. Vincent Faustino is forever “The Vessel”.
The Kickstarter campaign is for the production of the second issue of Curse of The Vessel, though if you support the project, the rewards contain issue #1 as well. So head over and check it out, and good luck to Mike with the campaign!
Also, if you're looking for a cool comics and pop culture podcast to add to your weekly listening, check out Who The What Now?!, which Mike co-hosts with his wife Michelle. You can listen right here.
