A promise is a promise. But for Michael Langer, his fateful pact with the sorrowful ghosts of his past may just mean his doom. His childhood home of Heslev Manor in Denmark hides a dark secret... a malevolent force is growing in strength and Michael may be the only one that can stop it.
From the wickedly creative minds of writer Lars Kramhøft and artist Tom Kristensen of Denmark comes MADE FLESH, a 124 page, full color graphic novel. The story of Made Flesh is a deviant tour de force of serial killer horror and supernatural terror. It has a uniquely European style that takes the reader away to the Danish countryside and the evils lurking within small town history. The gritty and raw art style of MADE FLESH underlines the psychological dread of this dark tale. The resulting marriage of text and imagery makes for a viscerally frightening experience that has no equal.

Lars Kramhøft and Tom Kristensen are a writer/artist team living and working in Copenhagen.![]()
Lars Kramhøft is a writer whose fiction has been published in a number of Danish anthologies. His work has also been featured in such publications as "The Lovecraft E-zine" and "Siren's Call".
Tom Kristensen is a professional illustrator that has worked with a wide array of visual storytelling. He has worked within the realms of natural history and children's books, but his darker side bleeds through in the medium of comics.
Made Flesh is Lars and Tom's first in a series of projects together. After self-publishing their work in Denmark, they were bestowed The Danish Horror Award in 2013. Since then they have toured the comic conventions of the world, finally allowing them to find a home for their hideous creation at Evil Jester.
We at Evil Jester Comics are giving this project all the love and attention it deserves. Our co-founder and lead editor, Taylor Grant, has been working alongside editor Aric Sundquist, and contributing editors and proofreaders, Erik Zagarello and Briana Onishea, to assure this creepy and horrifying comic is ready to be received by the masses when it releases.

EVIL JESTER PRESS is a successful publisher of award-winning and Bram Stoker Award® nominated horror novels.
Many of our fans have talked about their love of the comic medium and the
subsequent lack of quality horror comics being published nowadays.
We decided to do something about it.
![]()
While most major comic publishers are focused on superheroes, we thought it would be a good idea to finally put the power in the hands of all the great horror fans out there. All of us at EVIL JESTER COMICS have made it our mission to work in tandem with horror fans and come together create something we all want...
Kick ass horror comics!
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP: As you might imagine, producing a graphic novel is
both expensive and labor intensive. We at EVIL JESTER COMICS make it point to
pay everyone fairly for their hard work. That includes the awesomely talented
author and artist, the editors and proofreaders who edit our comic scripts, and
the rest of the team, not to mention our printing and marketing costs, which
for a graphic novel runs in the thousands.
We want you to know EVIL JESTER COMICS is a lean operation and we're not asking
for more money than we absolutely need. We are so confident in the success of
MADE FLESH that our only profits will come from sales. We invite you to see for
yourself!
That said, we hope you'll join us in supporting MADE FLESH. We need your
help to PROMOTE THIS INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN! In return, we will be GIVING AWAY FREE
STUFF to everyone who has pledged $10 or more!! Below is a list of FREE things that will get
added to your pledge rewards as we reach our goals. Please share this campaign
with anyone and everyone! Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogs, Websites...
EVERYWHERE!! The more you share the quicker you will unlock more stuff, and of
course, help us make this dream a reality. Thank you again.

Risks and challenges
Evil Jester is a proven publisher of
critically and commercially successful novels and anthologies. We’ve made it
our mission to bring that same level of professionalism and work ethic to our
comics division.
Though we are excited for the
support to get Made Flesh going, we always have contingency plans for if we
don’t make our INDIEGOGO goal. One way or another, we’re bringing Made Flesh to
life!
As with any project that has this many
moving parts and creative team members working in tandem, there is always a
chance of slight delay. Rest assured we will do whatever we can to make sure
you get the products included in your package in a timely fashion.
We at Evil Jester learned a great
deal from our first preliminary campaign. We’ve got the process down to a
science now and we’re confident that this campaign will be the one that makes
MADE FLESH a reality!
Thank you again for taking an interest in MADE
FLESH. We greatly appreciate your support
