I've spent quite a while today measuring, drawing and planning the house structure and it actually works! On a duplex-print A3 page, I should get the inside and outside of the house, plus opening walls, a roof flap and a basement flap.
I don't know if this counts as a print or a publication. I think it's a publication because it's something you'd buy as a product rather than a print to hang on a wall. It has more function than a print?
Needs spookifying, it's not scary yet! HOW SCARY TO GO?
My little brother (TARGET AUDIENCE. AGE 8. Only knows of Edgar Allan Poe because of the Simpsons. Loves Treehouse of Horrors/Goosebumps books) says it should be VERY GORY. Bodies in the basement/fingers in the flowerbed. Wants to see explicit pictures/blood.
I don't know, part of me wants to make this much more about Poe's romanticism and camp nature, with charming little ghosts/undead characters, but I also want to be more unapologetically uncensored, gruesome and controversial. A kid's book with the slimygross details.
Something to think about.
