PAGE: mkirk-wrath-launch.html – NEW page, added 2026-07-30 per Matt's request to build a "Launching October 1" page for Wrath using the same structure as Clutch's waitlist page (#page-clutch-waitlist). Structure/CSS pattern lifted directly from that real page; hero premise copy and cover reused from the real, Matt-uploaded ARC page (#page-wrath-arc) – nothing here is invented. Flag 1: the signup form below reuses the same real Kit form/UID (97f49e9459, form 9571883) as the ARC page, since no separate general "notify me at launch" list has been provided – everyone who signs up here currently lands on the same list as ARC requesters. Swap in a dedicated Kit form UID here once Matt has one. Flag 2: I repointed the two sitewide "Join Pre-Sale Waitlist" buttons that used to go to the ARC page (front-page Featured module, and the Wrath Review-CTA page) so they now land here instead – mirroring how Clutch's ARC page was dropped in favor of its waitlist page as the general-audience CTA, while "Request an ARC" (Wrath's meta-bar button) still points at the real ARC page for reviewers specifically. Tell me if that split isn't what you wanted.
Launching October 1
Read The Wrath of Archie Ellis the day it drops
A novel of Ypres, 1917
Captain Archie Ellis commands B Company at Ypres in 1917. His orders are overridden by a commander who is wrong. He acts outside them – and two hundred and forty-seven men die.
It's a structural retelling of the Iliad at Passchendaele – Achilles's wrath mapped onto the Western Front, the German side rendered at the same depth as the British. Spare, precise, quietly devastating. It doesn't make the slaughter meaningful. It refuses to.
Join the list and I'll send you the link the moment it's live on October 1.
I'll only email you about the launch. Unsubscribe anytime.
