On Tuesday, Clover Press launched a Kickstarter campaign for Ricardo Delgado’s Vampyre: A Horror Folktale. This work is a bilingual illustrated prose novel that is part traditional folktale, part autobiography, set in the same world as Dracula in Transylvania, Costa Rica in the 1940s. Within hours, the campaign had raised more than 10 times its original goal of $1,000.
Vampire follows a small town in Costa Rica in the wake of a series of gruesome murders committed by a terrifying monster. This supernatural tale is set in the same town where Delgado’s parents grew up. The hardcover book features historical maps, creature designs, and photographs, forming a multimedia project depicting classic horror and Delgado’s own life.
“This is a very personal story for me and I dedicate it to my parents,” Delgado said in a statement.

Available on Kickstarter until February 13th at 12am ET.
