Twenty-three creators from horror-focused YouTube channels have joined to write Tales from the Tube, an anthology of 23 original horror stories. The project launched on Kickstarter with a $10,000 goal and had raised $10,950 when Bloody Disgusting published its report; later funding totals, publication plans and delivery dates are not provided in the source.
Twenty-three horror-focused YouTube creators have teamed up to write Tales from the Tube, a crowdfunded anthology novel made up of 23 original horror stories. The project launched on Kickstarter with a $10,000 goal and had raised $10,950 at the time Bloody Disgusting reported on it, exceeding its initial target.
The contributors come from channels focused on horror films, reviews and related entertainment. The list includes Sean Chandler of Sean Chandler Talks About…, Cody Leach, Adam Olinger of Adam Does Movies, Riley Lorden of Slash ’n Cast, Vincente DiSanti of Womp Stomp Films and Daryk “The Maniacal Cinephile” Nowak of Stitched Together Pics. Other contributors named in the report include Antonio Piluso, Kylie Roseanne, Lee McCoy, Cecil Laird, Chris Stanley, Ken, Ashley and Khloe Sledge, Dave McRae, Jason Smith and Braden Timmons.
The remaining creators listed are Antonia Carlotta, Danny Knightmare, Rudy Apolinar, Chauncey K. Robinson, Courtney Leigh, Hlaleleni Walker, Jaime En Fuego and Chris Brennan. The project describes the stories as original and written by the participating creators. Its promotional material says the book does not use generative AI; that is a statement from the project team, rather than an independently verified production detail in the report.
The story previews point to a range of horror setups: a father bitten by a zombie tries to save his toddler; a hidden door leads a man toward a forgotten experiment; and a camping trip is disrupted by a giant prehistoric predator. Other summaries involve a possibly dangerous garden gnome, something disturbed by the removal of an old fence, a woman who returns to find her front door open, and a man who wakes without his head. The report does not identify which creator wrote each story.
Creators Take Stories Beyond Video
The project puts creators known for online horror commentary and filmmaking into a different format: fiction collected in a book. Rather than adapting existing videos, the anthology is presented as a set of new stories, giving readers a chance to encounter the contributors’ work without cameras, editing or production crews. That format is central to the campaign’s pitch.
The Kickstarter total reported by Bloody Disgusting shows that the project had raised more than its initial funding goal by the time of publication. It does not, on its own, establish how many people backed the campaign, how widely the book will circulate, or whether it will lead to further projects. The development is a concrete example of online creators organizing a publishing project directly, rather than waiting for a studio or publisher to commission work.
For readers, the practical appeal is the combination of 23 contributors and 23 separate horror premises in one anthology. The variety described in the campaign—from zombies and a strange door to a missing head—suggests a collection of standalone stories, though the report supplies only brief teasers and no full synopsis, sample chapter or details about the tone of the completed book.

From YouTube Channels to Print
Bloody Disgusting framed the announcement against a broader period of YouTube creators moving into theatrical horror filmmaking. Its report names Markiplier, Curry Barker and Kane Parsons as online creators whose horror films had reached theaters. That framing helps explain why a group of creators might be looking beyond video, but Tales from the Tube is a separate publishing effort; the source does not say that any of those filmmakers are involved in this anthology.
The project’s own description emphasizes the change in medium: 23 creators are asked to put aside cameras, editing software, thumbnails and algorithms and write for a blank page. The Kickstarter campaign is the route through which the team is seeking support and offering readers a way to preorder, according to the report. The available source does not provide a publisher, confirmed release date, print specifications or a full account of how the contributions were edited into a single volume.
“What happens when you take 23 YouTube creators, remove the cameras, editing software, thumbnails and algorithms, and give them nothing but a blank page? Then tell them: SCARE US.”

Funding and Publication Details
The reported $10,950 total is a snapshot from the time of Bloody Disgusting’s article, not a current campaign balance. The source does not specify the campaign’s closing date or provide updated figures, so the final amount raised and whether the project reached any later funding targets are unknown here.
Other key details are also absent: a confirmed publication or delivery date, the final format and length, the editorial process, and whether the book will be available beyond Kickstarter. The story descriptions are brief promotional summaries, and no complete stories or creator-by-creator assignments are included. The project team’s statement that the anthology contains no generative AI is reported as its claim; the article does not describe an independent verification process.
Campaign Updates and Book Release
Readers interested in the project can check the Tales from the Tube Kickstarter page for campaign status and any updates from its organizers. The source report invites readers to preorder through the campaign, but does not state whether the campaign is still open or what options remain available.
The next clear milestones would be a campaign close, publication of any final funding and production details, and confirmation of when backers or other readers can receive the book. No release schedule or delivery timetable is included in the source material, so those details remain pending rather than established.
