Limit Break Comics Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for Bump in the Night, an Eco-Horror Comic Anthology about Cryptids
Irish Comic Collective Limit Break Comics today launched the crowdfunding campaign for its fifth anthology, Bump in the Night, an eco-horror collection focusing on cryptids.
Limit Break Comics has today launched the crowdfunding campaign for its fifth comic anthology, Bump in the Night, on Zoop. The anthology combines an eco-horror approach to narrative with well-known cryptids, focusing on nature vs society. The anthology is edited by Paul Carroll, and is intended to launch at Dublin Comic Con in March 2027.
The anthology collects the work of over 40 creators from around the world, with cryptids to match the international draw of the talent inside. The collective are joined by Irish illustrator Eoin Coveney on cover art.
Included in the anthology are creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, the Curupira, the Yeti and the Jersey Devil.
The Zoop campaign seeks to raise $15,000 to fund the production of the book. Alongside digital and physical copies of Bump in the Night, backers can choose from stickers, postcards, prints, and an enamel pin. The print artists for the campaign are Gareth Luby & John McGuinness, Donna Black, and Lane Lloyd.
This will be Carroll’s fifth anthology with Limit Break Comics, launching a series of myth-inspired books with the collective’s 2021 title, Turning Roads. Following an initial trilogy of classic folklore books, the Editor turned towards modern mythology for inspiration. Bump in the Night follows Wish Upon a Star, which funded in 2024 and launched at the Cork Comic Expo in Spring 2025.
