That’s right, the Great GabaGhoul is back with an all‑new story set on Christmas Eve. In this festive follow‑up to Night of the GabaGhoul, everyone’s favorite ghostly goofball throws open his doors and invites the whole famiglia to gather around the table for an unforgettable Italian‑American holiday tradition: The Feast of the Seven Fishes.
Readers are invited to pull up a chair and experience a classic Italian‑American Christmas Eve filled with larger‑than‑life relatives, nonstop laughs, and the warm, chaotic family energy anyone raised in an Italian household will instantly recognize.
Like our first book, we’re launching this one through Kickstarter, a platform that lets creators like me and Mick Lambrou retain full ownership of our characters, stories, and world. Your pledge – or “pre‑order,” as I like to call it, directly helps fund the production of the book. Every pledge gets you a copy, plus access to a ton of amazing add‑ons designed to help us reach our goal.
And then there are the stretch goals. We’ve listed three so far, and when we hit each milestone, everyone who pledged for a physical item gets bonus goodies:
- $2,500 — A hilarious Simpsons‑style parody sticker
- $5,000 — A Godzilla Marvel Issue #1 parody mini‑poster
- $7,500 — A custom Christmas card (with envelope!) featuring a quote from one of my all‑time favorite film franchises
There are multiple tiers to choose from — including a simple “support” tier if you just want to chip in a few bucks.
Our add‑ons are stacked: Mick Lambrou’s comic Street Justice, the brand‑new It Blows My Mind coloring book, shirts, a hoodie, and even an exclusive poster signed by both of us (Mick had to mail it all the way from Australia). One of the coolest options: you can purchase a second book at a discount, and we’ll donate it to Phoenix Children’s Hospital this Christmas. For every donated book, Mick and I will personally match it with another.
And if you don’t want a kids’ book, or don’t have kids, but still want to do something awesome, you can pledge for the hardcover tier and tell us to donate your book on your behalf. You’ll help us reach our goal and bring a smile to a child at Phoenix Children’s Hospital this holiday season.
Me and Mick don’t have a big publisher behind us. We’re two guys making high‑quality, funny, heartfelt books, putting in the work and building something special. But Kickstarter is all‑or‑nothing. If we don’t hit our goal, the project doesn’t get funded and no orders get processed. And while the listed goal is $4k, the real cost is higher, especially with tariffs hitting us hard.
So we’re asking everyone to pledge, share the campaign, and help us bring this wild, warm, loud Italian‑American Christmas story to life. The book is incredible, it’s hilarious, and I can promise you – it’s the best Italian‑American Christmas book ever made.

Thanks – Danny Marianino
