Cory has also launched a successful Kickstarter campaign so he can continue working on his passion project, and documenting his family history in a unique way.

Monsters, demigods, heroes and Acropolis, a city in chaos. With a mandatory curfew to curb child abductions from monsters and ghouls, there’s only one thing this city needs – a hero.

Knowing that they cause a near extinction of the human race, the friends are each faced with their own demons and internal struggles. Can they change the future, or is their destiny written in stone? Are the letters even real?
