Today, Dead & Read has announced the launch of its Kickstarter campaign, aiming to revolutionise the world of classic literature with a unique fusion of classic literature and heavy metal aesthetics.
The brainchild of Sam Taylor, co-founder of Max Minerva’s Books, an independent bookshop with locations in Bristol and Portishead, Dead & Read is a platform where literature and music collide, resulting in collectibles that fans across both realms would treasure.
“As a live music fan, I love the ability to collect posters and other merchandise that keeps the memory of the moment alive. The music industry really knows how to give their fans covetable and collectible memorabilia, which is just not something you find with books. So this Halloween, we’re launching our first collection of Classics – 3 Horror titles with a Heavy Metal twist,” says Taylor.
Dead & Read’s offering includes reimagined book covers, combining the charm of classic tales with heavy metal designs, exclusive apparel including t-shirts, and posters signed by world-renowned illustrator Dan Mumford, known for his work with Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Queens Of The Stone Age. With only 666 copies of each horror classic, these collections are exclusive masterpieces.
“Dead & Read is more than a brand; it’s a revolution in the world of literature and music,” says Taylor.
Dead & Read is inviting readers and music lovers to wear their passions, quite literally, and proclaim their love for age-old tales with a contemporary twist. To secure your limited edition collection, visit Dead & Read’s Kickstarter page.
