We are very excited to announce that all of our backers should have received an email notification with a download for the MALAISE anthology eBook! For those of you who missed the Kickstarter and would like to purchase a copy: watch this space, we will have an announcement soon!
We're extremely proud of the hard work our authors, designers, artists, and editors put into this project and we're excited to share these stories with you. Thank you again for all of your past, present, and (hopefully!) future support. <3
Good afternoon followers,
MALAISE's campaign has come to an end, and what a successful campaign it was! We reached our initial funding goal of $6,000 several days ago and ultimately concluded the fundraiser run today with $8,274 from 240 phenomenal backers.
Over the next few months we'll get to finalizing, printing, and shipping MALAISE. We hope to provide you all with timely updates, photos, and information as we progress forward.
In the next few weeks we'll be sending out our pledge manager. For those that are interested in additional copies of the book, we will have a limited supply of physical books to purchase through this method. Alternatively, we hope to provide the .pdf of MALAISE for purchase by alternative means for those that missed the campaign. We'll be announcing more on this later on.
Thank you again for all of your support and help in this project. We wouldn't be able to do this without each and every one of you. Look forward to a horrific collection of tales soon to arrive in your mailboxes (both physical and digital) in the near future!
With love and gratitude,
Jessamine Press
MALAISE, a horror anthology, is now live on @kickstarter!
When the nightmare becomes real, when the thing in the woods awakes, when the swamp gets its first monster, when the airlock opens to the dead floating in space, there is MALAISE.
After months of development and editing, we’re ready to launch this fantastic collection of scary stories featuring marginalized narratives. The book’s focus takes root in tales of horror, discomfort, and unease, all told through the lenses of marginalized writers. The horror genre has often had similar stories told again and again from the same point of view. To help subvert the tropes and offer new perspectives, MALAISE features stories written by voices often unheard in the publishing world.
This campaign goal will help fund and print MALAISE, an anthology of short stories all written by POC, disabled, and LGBTQ+ writers. Within the book’s pages you’ll find nine 7,000 to 10,000 word tales, all within the horror genre, but differing in subgenre.
In the creation of the anthology, we looked to encourage our writers to create short stories that were free of the discriminatory, harmful portrayals and stereotypes that often run rampant within horror, as well as avoid an over-reliance on gore. Our writers instead focused on cultivating stories pulling from true terror rather than relying on shock value and violence.
We believe that expanding upon unique point of views only helps to fuel new, original content. Ultimately, MALAISE focuses on stories for, by, and about underrepresented voices.
There are only NINE DAYS LEFT to back MALAISE on Kickstarter! Don’t miss out and get your copy of this fantastic anthology today!
This project will arrive just in time for Halloween. Treat yourself to some scary stories this year. :D

We are very excited to share that Kickstarter has chosen our project as one of their 'Projects We Love'! We truly appreciate their support of MALAISE, and hope you take a moment to check out our anthology as well.
In our final artist spotlight, we would like to introduce the work of Naomi Franquiz. Exuberant and talented, Naomi is an exclusive stretch goal artist who'll provide a custom illustration for each story if we reach our XESTIA stretch goal.

In our third artist spotlight, we would like to introduce the work of Shazleen Khan. Funny and gregarious, Shazleen is the talent behind our limited Death's-head Hawkmoth commission tier, as well as a potential stretch goal artist!

In our ninth, and final, author spotlight, Ziggy Schutz introduces us to an inquisitive journalist investigating strange murders, and what truly makes a monster, in "Salt In Her Lungs."
In our eighth author spotlight, Tabitha Grow truly gets under our skin (and sinks in straight till the marrow) with a new kind of botanical horror in "Stars From The Mountain."
In our seventh author spotlight, Noelle Anderson shares a grisly first contact story about the heart of the ocean and what lies beneath the waves in "What Becomes Of Us".

all of my art for @jessaminepress‘s MALAISE, which is still Kickstarting now! These art designs for three prints and a strategically-cropped-for-Tumblr bookmark, and I’m really excited to be able to share them. I’ve been working really hard on all of this and I hope if nothing else it convinces you to go check out the Kickstarter!! This is gonna be a beautiful book, you guys. :>
