Award-winning author John Penney previews novel It Comes Back

Award-winning writer and director John Penney has launched a new Crowdfundr where fans can help shape the story of his third and much anticipated psychological horror novel, It Comes Back.

On September 15th, the first two chapters of the book become available via the Crowdfundr platform, and he is actively asking audiences to feedback on his work to shape the story through to the end – akin to a choose your own adventure. It Comes Back is a psychological horror novel that explores trauma, guilt and people’s unsuccessful attempts to run away from their past mistakes.

As well getting exclusive access to his book, other perks include getting a character named after you, signed previous works and one-on-one meetings with John himself, who can impart his wisdom with fellow writing enthusiasts.

Penney’s previous novels include Truck Stop and Killing Time. John is best known for the films Return of the Living Dead III, Zyzzyx Road, Hellgate and The Kindred.

“I have spent my career writing screenplays for films, including “Return of the Living Dead 3”, “The Kindred” and “Re-Animator Unbound.” Although the process has been rewarding, my best creative experiences have been the two novels I wrote “Truck Stop” and “Killing Time.” Crowdfundr gives me the opportunity to pursue writing novels. There are no barriers between my ideas and the reader. The connection is pure and I can express myself one on one. This is pure joy. Crowdfundr also allows me to hear back from my readers directly,” said Penney.
