Reanimator Incorporated: Chapter Two

Based on H.P. Lovecraft's Herbert West - Reanimator, Reanimator Incorporated is a complete reimagining of the original story that takes inspiration from Lovecraft's original text and from Gordon's 80s movie adaptation.

This graphic novel modernises West's machinations whilst weaving literary mythology (Lovecraftian and beyond) into the tale.

Chapter Two of Reanimator Incorporated sees Herbert West and Dan Cain's continued attempts to reanimate the dead, which has now become a personal mission after the accident with West's son, Mike. Chapter Two presents a more ethereal theme compared to Chapter One, which was grounded on Earth. In the sequel, the reader experiences more of the From Beyond landscape, and we take our first tentative steps into Lovecraftian Hell - a parallel to Dante's nine circles of the Inferno.

As West and Cain battle to save who (or what) they think is Mike, CEO of Reanimator Incorporated, Erica Lee battles with her board to push the Reanimator project into the daily lives of millions - for a price, of course. As Mike's spirit is guided toward his demonic destiny, his mother, Gabby, attempts to convince West that he's dabbling in matters far beyond his myopic scientific understanding.

The Kickstarter is set for release on the 20th of July, and if you missed out on the first issue, then you're in luck, as both will be available through the campaign. The first chapter was superb, so make sure you don't miss out on chapter two!

The Team behind Reanimator Incorporated

Writer: Andy Perry  

Andy is an estranged English Northerner, now living in Wales, working as an IT Consultant when he's not dreaming up crazy ideas for new stories. Andy made his writing debut with the self-published sci-fi comic, Undetermined in 2018 and had his first short story, titled 'Ingrowing', published later that year in the horror anthology, Twisted 50 Vol. 2. Various other short stories, novels, poetry and comics remain in the works in various forms, and Reanimator Incorporated is the realisation of an idea smouldering for the best part of a decade, so perhaps there's hope for the other ideas too.
