It's true... we're so close to a stretch goal unlocking an absolute unit of a pin.

It'll be a fulfillment nightmare. It'll fit none of our current packaging.

But it's also really, really cool

A fun little thread about Monitored Activity: a horror book that's very gross, very gay, a tad bit humorous, and extremely cosmic.

🏬🔪🩸
A mock-up of Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller: a book with a dark blue cover, the title in red letters, and author name in white. In a much smaller font: Welcome to the Night Shift, and a review by Expedition Truth that says Like Dante's Inferno but Corporate. On either side are images of Eddie (left) and Shaw (right). The entire graphic has a faded VHS look to it.

🎶ONE DAY MOOOOOOOORE!🎶

(Yes, you were supposed to sing that like you're in Les Mis. You're welcome)

It's a bit theatrical. A bit ridiculous. Delightfully funny. Fabulously angsty. And the series gets queerer and more OTT as it goes.

I'm about to be reeeal annoying about MonAct tomorrow—HOWEVER.

The near cataclysmic volume of annoyance may be eased the closer this bad boy gets to 100 backers.

It's currently at 84.

Y'all gotta promise to hit 87 while I'm online tho. For no particular reason.
