Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for your patience! We are finally satisfied that the book is the best we can make it for you, and have sent it to our printers for final production. We will review print proofs and slipcase samples and the like over the next few weeks before the final pressing of the books, and hope to be taking receipt of the books themselves sometime this summer. As soon as we have them all in hand, we will begin fulfillment.
In the meantime, for those of you who pledged at the Kadath or Leng tier, we have reached out to all of you to select your original artworks, but did not receive a response from a few of you. If you did not receive our several emails about this, or did not remember to respond, please reach out now to [email protected] and we will let you know which pieces are still available for your original art reward.
Finally, if you have not already checked it out, please do take a look at the digital sketchbook reward we shared in the last update here. It's a cool look at artist Marco Furlotti's process and a really interesting insight into how the illustrations came together.
Best regards,
Helios House Press
Backer Reward: Digital Sketchbook

Hello everyone!
We are thrilled to be reaching out today with one of your campaign rewards, the digital sketchbook! This is a peek at illustrator Marco Furlotti's artistic process coupled with fascinating insights into what drew him to the material and why he approached it the way he did.
You can find the sketchbook here. If you have any difficulty accessing the file, please reach out to [email protected].
As to the rest of your rewards, we have more good news! Smaller items like the ex libris bookplates and leather bookmarks are all complete. All that remains is to print the books themselves, and we are delighted to report that we expect them to be on the presses within the next couple of weeks.
It has taken longer than we expected to get to this stage, but for what I hope you will all agree is a good reason: we wanted to make sure we were creating the best possible version of this book for you. As a result, we asked Marco to create even more of his beautiful illustrations for the book, and he responded with five totally new works in addition to the dozens he had already created. We'll plan to share a peek at one or two of those in the coming weeks as we wait for the books to be ready, but for now, please enjoy the sketchbook! We'll be in touch again soon.
Warmest Regards,
Helios House Press
Production complete on the first items!

Nearly ready to go to print!

Hello backers,
This is just a quick update to say that we are putting the finishing touches on the book. It looks great and is just about ready to go to the printer. We expect it to be on the presses in the next couple of weeks, and remain well ahead of our original projected schedule.
We have been reaching out to the Kadath and Leng tier backers about the original art rewards, and all other rewards and add-ons will ship once the books are in stock. Our current conservative estimate is that that will be sometime this winter, several months ahead of our original projections, but we will of course keep you informed as to any changes. In the meantime, keep an eye out for further updates in the next couple of months with some behind-the-scenes peeks!
Gratefully,
Helios House Press
