Mr. Purple by W.H. Chizmar (chapbook)

Mr. Purple by W.H. Chizmar is a perfect-bound chapbook published exclusively for Brian James Freeman’s supporters on Patreon in June 2023. Featuring a full-color cove, full-color inside covers, and eight tinted interior illustrations by Glenn Chadbourne, this is the fourth of our chapbooks to be printed entirely in full-color, inside and out.

About the Chapbook:
The download has completed, as indicated by the sudden appearance of a small, violet icon on Benjamin Bernoulli’s computer screen. A pixelated purple circle with the ‘shortcut’ arrow imposed atop it. Below it is the name of the program: Mr. Purple. Ben does not like horror. He never has. The only information about the game lies in the description, which is brief. It reads:

THE RULES

I. HE DOES NOT LIKE MIRRORS

II. THERE’S NOTHING IN HIS POCKET

III. LET HIM CATCH YOU

Ben feels a chill crawl across the nape of his neck. He lowers his hands from the keyboard and rests them in his lap. Don’t be foolish, he scolds himself. There’s no reason to be scared…

Publication Format:
Each chapbook Brian publishes for his Patreon supporters is “housed” in a custom-printed envelope with line artwork and the Lividian Publications logo printed on it. This chapbook was the seventh to be perfect bound, the fourth to be printed entirely in full-color, and the second to feature the new style of envelope with the artwork printed directly on it. The inside-cover features full-color artwork. This chapbook was signed by W.H. Chizmar and Glenn Chadbourne, and hand-numbered. Limited to a print run of 500 copies.
