In 1806, Hrodebert Kasparov Grau created “Verlorene Seele” (The Lost Souls) based on the infamous 1711 carnival disaster. Reprinted under the title “CarnEvil of Souls” the book became known as the fable that originated the children’s song “Row Row Row Your Boat.” And now the forgotten classic has been restored for generations to come.
Legendary actor Keith David (Hazbin Hotel, The Thing, Spawn, Gargoyles, Coraline, and The Princess & The Frog) will narrate this delightfully macabre children’s book. His unmistakable voice brings unique gravitas, charm, and eerie elegance to this illustrated love letter to Tim Burton and Edward Gorey.
The incredible David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil, Dune, The Dark Knight, Suicide Squad) has joined our twisted tale as our Uninvited Archivist of the CarnEvil of Souls - Your guide who will lead you through the shadowy B-Side of my vinyl, where lost souls whisper and secrets lurk.
Join Keith David, David Dastmalchian, and the creative team in celebrating this hauntingly elegant tale, and help ensure that the world of Mr. Floats continues to enchant audiences for generations to come before the campaign closes on October 31st, 2025.
