American?Paladin, the eagerly anticipated contemporary fantasy novel by New York Times bestselling author Larry?Correia (In Defense of the Second Amendment), launches via Kickstarter with a limited-time Early Bird discount of $5 off the deluxe hardcover for backers in the first 72 hours. The hardcover edition includes a reversible dust jacket with a UV-ink poster filled with hidden images viewable only under blacklight. Every hardcover also comes with an eBook version of the novel and a UV flashlight. Potential backers can visit the pre-launch page to be notified the moment the campaign goes live.
“For the Kickstarter, we included the ebook and a UV flashlight with the hardcover,” says Ark Press Editor in Chief Tony Daniel. “When you’re done viewing the somewhat blood-curdling reverse dust jacket cover, you can use the flashlight to examine crime scenes or reveal secret messages—or whatever you like.”
American Paladin has been named to Kickstarter’s prestigious “Projects We Love” list—a rare distinction that signals the platform’s early confidence in the campaign’s creativity and impact. The novel follows Mike Spears, a drifter and monster hunter, as he tracks a missing girl into the “Sometimes Places,” eerie borderlands where reality frays and eldritch horrors emerge. The campaign also includes a companion graphic novel written by Correia and illustrated by Alex Wisner.
