Turkey Coma Sale

Turkey Coma Sale

We want to tell y’all a story.

Earlier this month, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States on a platform that consisted in part of (how do we put this diplomatically?) marginalizing groups that are already marginalized.

Feel free to add your own adjectives to the previous paragraph. We’ll wait.

Undertaker Books was hit hard by this. All of our staff will be negatively impacted if these policies are enacted. We are, or have family members who are, members of the aforementioned marginalized groups. Looking broadly, many of our writers are in the same boat, as is a large percentage of our independent horror community.

For a few days, we were numb. In shock.

Then one of our writers snapped us out of it.

About a week before the election, Cyan rolled out the idea of a post-Thanksgiving sale. Our authors were all on board, and we thought it would be a good way to build our following and get our books in readers' hands.

The Friday after the election, one of our authors reached out and asked if he could donate his portion of the proceeds from the sale to Trans Lifeline.

We said, “of course!”

We also decided to contribute our portion of the proceeds from the sale to his charity pick.

By the time D.L. finished putting together the graphic for the sale, other authors had joined in. Then some of our international authors expressed interest in supporting organizations in their own countries.

We said, "Of course!"

As of this writing, if you purchase the following books during our TURKEY COMA SALE, the proceeds will go to the charity listed:

The Triangle/The Deep Double Feature
Trans Lifeline

Shadows of Appalachia
Hurricane Helene Recovery

Judicial Homicide
Witness to Innocence

The Screaming House
United We Dream

A Terrible Place
American Library Association United Against Book Bans Campaign

Mastering the Art of Female Cookery
Trans Lifeline

Ink Vine
ARC-Southeast

In Memory of Exoskeletons (eBook only)
ARC-Southeast

Self-Made Monsters (eBook only)
Planned Parenthood

Silent Mine
Royal British Legion

The sale starts on Thanksgiving and runs through December 3rd, giving you plenty of time to buy books to read while you recover from the feast (there’s a reason we’re calling it the Turkey Coma sale). 

Supporting these great causes is an added bonus, but one we think is worth it!
