Reanimator Incorporated: Chapter Three – A Kickstarter Must for Horror Fans!
What lies between life and death? For Herbert West, the answer is as simple as Reanimation - but the consequences are anything but. In 'Reanimator Incorporated: Chapter Three,' creators Andrew Perry and Lyndon White weave a tale of cosmic horror, personal loss, and chilling ambition. With Chapter Three heading to Kickstarter soon, you are invited to delve deeper into a world where the boundaries between humanity and the Lovecraftian unknown blur, leaving each character to face their own inner - and outer - demons.
When lives shatter, who picks up the pieces? Herbert West, reeling from bereavement and the breakdown of his family, is pushed closer to the edge by a CEO seeking to weaponise Reanimation. West’s estranged wife, Gabby, struggles with personal demons, while their son, Mike, faces demons of an all-to-real nature as he descends deeper into Lovecraftian Hell, where Great Deep One Dagon and Judge Minos lie in wait.
Meanwhile, Detective Chaz Dexter Ward’s investigation into a spate of missing persons manifests in an encounter that fractures her very existence. What cost when divinity chooses not to intervene?
What is Reanimator Incorporated about?
Imagine if you died. Your body could be atomically uploaded into an AI, repaired, and then Reanimated atom by atom. Would you be the same person you were before you died? Would you remember the events of your death? In the time between death and Reanimation, where would your soul wander?
What if, before your soul returned to your Reanimated body, something else - something From Beyond - occupied it?
Reanimator Incorporated explores these questions, taking you on a journey into the nine circles of Lovecraftian Hell, where you encounter cosmic deities from the Lovecraft mythos and demons from Dante’s Inferno.
Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘Herbert West - Reanimator’, Reanimator Incorporated is a complete reimagining of the original story. Taking inspiration from Lovecraft’s original text, and from Gordon’s 80s movie adaptation, this graphic novel series modernises West’s machinations, whilst weaving literary mythology (Lovecraftian and beyond) into the tale. Think Reanimator meets From Beyond, with a splash of Dante’s Inferno, a dab of King’s Pet Sematary… And then some…
The Story So Far
This is Chapter Three of a six-part series, set a few months ahead of Chapter Two. Chapter Three introduces a new character, Detective Inspector Chaz Dexter Ward, whose investigations into a missing persons case causes her to stumble upon a cult led by the malignant human form of Nyarlathotep.
Chapter Three focuses on Mike West’s descent into the nine circles of Lovecraftian Hell, where he encounters Great Deep One Dagon - outraged at humanity’s desecration of the oceans - and Judge Minos, who has been reassigned to flinging souls out of Hell to occupy the mortal husks of Reanimated bodies.
Mike’s mother and father have their own issues. Herbert West, Chief Scientist of Reanimator Incorporated, is left broken and beleaguered following the loss of his family and friend, Daniel Cain. West’s wife Gabby seeks a purpose outside the bottle, only to find it in the last place she’d expect.
In the meantime, CEO of Reanimator Incorporated, Erica Lee, is on a mission to sell Reanimation technology to the military, while desperate to get answers from the mystery left by her Grandfather, and war hero, Sir Eric Moreland Clapham-Lee.
