CONTAGIOUS posters

Poster collage: Can you get them all and see what Perry sees?Poster collage: Can you get them all and see what Perry sees?

On Tuesday, Dec. 16, welcome to teaser hell ...

There are twelve unique promotional posters for the horror novel CONTAGIOUS, each hinting at a key phrase or plot point. What do they mean? You'll find out when you read the book or listen to the free podcast. What's more, if you put all twelve of these high-resolution, printable posters together in the right order, and you can see Perry's final, doom-filled vision.

Through January 2009, the only one you will find at scottsigler.com is the "DOMREC." The rest roll out exclusively on eleven other websites. Each site will feature one poster design only. To collect them all, you must visit all the sites (or subscribe to their respective RSS feeds).

Why did I pick the other eleven sites?  Not only because they have big audiences (I'm a promotional whore, remember?), but because they have cool content. These sites will either make you laugh, entertain you or educate you. I love all of these sites, and think you will too.

Here are links to the posters for each site:

There you go, the links to each blog up above now point directly to the blog post where they listed their poster.

That's IT!

Thanks Ron, I went to http://www.KeithAndTheGirl.com/RSS and found number 11 (my last one). Also loved the collage. Never figured out what crack hits were actually used for but gave you 20 anyway.

That's it!

Nicely done!

Using crack hits as bribes, currency, reward or to force people to do evil things is 100 percent acceptable and encouraged.

That was fun

Went to all 11 sites

On December 16th, 2008 (21:00 GMT) NetizenRon says:
Was pretty easy to find most of the posters, but I have to say io9 screwed the pooch. Misspelled the book and didn't have a downloadable pdf. Keith and the Girl was hard to find since you had to subscribe to their feed. I was hoping that the posters spelled out a secret message, you know some kind of phrase within the slogan, couldn't figure it out if there was something that clever. I am curious what building that is in the background. I'm guessing that's where the story climaxes. Here's my collage: http://netizenron.com/images/contagiouscollage.png ... I wish I could be so clever when I finally release my book.

Seems like the background

Seems like the background building IS the clever clue. Probably where Contagious ends, yeah.

can't find #11

11 down... 1 to go

Still can't find the one on io9, but from what I can see on the mish-mash that Scott posted, it's the poster that has what looks like a clown's face or something, and it has the word "BULLY" on it - lower left-hand corner of the collage.

The poster collage up top

On December 16th, 2008 (19:00 GMT) hyperdude says:

The poster collage up top gives a good hint as to what it will look like, and likely say - "DOLLY" it looks like. And a bloodied doll. Chucky, anyone?

Haha my mom was in the room a few minutes ago and saw me browsing IO9. "What's that? Smile What are you looking at?" she exclaims. Dad asks what, she's like "Women in swimsuits!" Gah parents can be so stupid.

So my current lineup for the almost full poster is...


9 - ? - 8 (the ? is the un-numbered one)
10 - 12 - 6
_ - 1 - 3 (the _ is where I suspect IO9's poster to go.)

7 - 4 - 5 (not sure. but they seem to belong on the bottom)


The io9 poster

On December 16th, 2008 (19:05 GMT) Jeff K. (not verified) says:
I think that the word in the poster is "BULLY", not "DOLLY"...

So its just IO9 now... which

So its just IO9 now... which is surprising because they seem to have a post there every 5 minutes or so.. (everytime I try and keep up with any of the gawker sites, I usually unsubscribe because its like trying to eat a hippo in a sitting, too much to keep up with) I keep going through the archives to see if it was just missed or something. But the building that seems to be shown as the background seems to be the point of this exercise... hmmm Perry Dawsey and Dew Phillips let loose in a downtown office building where a construct is about to be created... I know its a total guess but that would probably require the "LOTS AND LOTS OF VIOLENCE" comment to return.

I'm fitting them together.

On December 16th, 2008 (18:01 GMT) hyperdude says:

Uploading a snapshot of them together. Hopefully io9's poster will help solve where exactly to put the stray ones.

 

*edit* http://uploadpsd.com/file/46611.png - the three in the bottom left are the ones I just can't place.


got 11, waiting on i09,com

It looks like a 3x4 poster. I have been matching the buildings in the background

KATG is either 2 or 11.

On December 16th, 2008 (17:42 GMT) hyperdude says:

I found and downloaded all 10 that have been posted so far. Still waiting on #2 and #11. I'll be resizing and fiddling with the posters to find the holes in a bit.

Looks like...

On December 16th, 2008 (16:42 GMT) Mike (not verified) says:
Based on the little hunks of clue in each poster we can see, I assume the answer we're looking for has something to do with a city, or at least a skyscraper in a city. Still searching - I've found three so far. Maybe a search engine would help.

EPIC FU's poster is up!

Wait okay I'm a dumbass techtard, #12 is here on ScottSigler.com (big L on forehead), oh and KATG's poster is on their RSS feed now... though it doesn't get labelled with a number... when IO9, Accident Hash nd Epic Fu get theirs going, hopefully they will have a number on them so we know where KATG's poster goes.

#7 at Epic Fu is Up

Teaser Hell is right... I wonder if some of the places that were to post these got put on the round circular file that gets taken out by the trashman each evening. Not that they aren't worthy but I've searched io9, Accident Hash, Keith and the Girl, and Epic Fu to no avail... I got 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, & 10, but thats it. Anyone find 2, 7, 9, & 11 yet? How did someone find number 12? I thought there were only 11?

12 is sigler's

Found the rest, but either the remaining 4 haven't posted yet, or they've got them so well hidden that a cursory glance, barely looking at the homepage has turned up nothing. Yet.

Ok...

All i found was 4 including scotts. Guess I will check again tomorrow. Hey Scott how are we supposed to function in early January after you gave away all your shit in December and we just sit there hitting F5 with the shakes? Are you going to post more in January? I think not. Guess I will just have to wait till you come to Charlotte on you book tour. Oh wait I guess I can't. Fucker.

 

Edit:  Up to 7


Fun idea, good way to get involved.

Are they going to be released intermittently through January? Your post was a bit unclear on that point. I went to visit JC's site just now and didn't see anything, but it's still technically the 15th and he *is* kind of a slacker, so he may just not have it up yet. Details, FDO! It's all in the details!
