Kickstarter

"Kickstarter" is a tongue-in-cheek Cthulhu Mythos story by American author Richard Lee Byers, first published the the anthology Whispers from the Abyss Vol. 2: The Horrors That Are & Shall Be by 01Publishing in October 2015.
==Synopsis==
As its title might suggest, the story is written as an online Kickstarter campaign in which members of Dunwich's Whateley family are attempting to raise funds to awaken Great Cthulhu. As with genuine Kickstarter campaigns, it includes what the money would be spent on, backer rewards and stretch goals. Only $37 had been raised of the $400,000 goal, with eleven days still to go.
==Publication History==
Following its debut in Whispers from the Abyss Vol. 2, "Kickstarter" was included in the collection of Byers' own works The Hep Cats of Ulthar and Other Lovecraftian Tales in May 2018.
