Sorry, reading it back I can see how it can be misconstrued!

I see a lot of AI in your podcast (Attic Interior)

A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on white paper illustration. The dark silhouetted shape of a woman in a black funeral dress stands at the foot of a bed in an Edwardian style room, she stares at a tired looking man under a heavy quilt. Moonlight shines into the room from behind the woman. Creepy and atmospheric.

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration.

I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking!

Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

Loving the artwork I've seen for this so far!

Real shame that never materialised.

Completely agree with that statement. I'm currently working on a story based around Bethmoora and keep getting distracted by reading more of his stories!

I've been catching up on the back catalogue this evening and can't wait for more.

I can't believe we've nearing the end!

At least they had the decency to display the warning at the start

Great choice of new host

@atticshow.com @whathelen.bsky.social might have some photos from the Innsmouth House Players?

Not come across General Witchfinders before, but will definitely check it out!

Sad news to start the year off on, but completely understand your decision and are grateful for all your work over the past years! "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"

Can't wait!

This list does not include an absolutely fantastic novel I read for a friend that deserves to see publication in the future.

Nor have I added the RPG books I've read, because I didn't keep track!

Most enjoyed: Stone and Sky, by @benaaronovitch.bsky.social, and The Birds, and other stories by Daphne du Maurier (particularly Monte Vertia)

Most disappointing: Moonchild (Aleister Crowley)

Shortest: The Vampyre (~8000 words)

Longest: Varney the Vampire (~667,000 words)

A collection of book covers: Yuletide Hauntings; Strange Relics; The Vampyre; Weird Woods; Amongst our Weapons; The Taming Power; Lost Acre; Moving Pictures; Astounding Science Fiction

A collection of book covers: Starve Acre; Time Crimes; An Unsuitable Job for a Woman; Pigs have Wings; Demons by Dayling; The Shadow on the Glass; Moonchild; Stone and Sky; The Birds, and other stories

A collection of book covers: A Dreamer's Tales; Varney the Vampire; The Gods of Pegana; The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and other tales of terror; The Atrocity Archives

2025 in books: I didn't read as much this year as I planned (partly due to our new small human). Again the list is pretty much dominated with sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

Definitely gravitated towards collections of short stories, although Varney the Vampire more than redressed the balance!

Oh, that was a lot of fun! Thank you @miskatonicplayhouse.com, @valygirlheather.bsky.social and my wonderful cast mates Lydia, @embroideredyeti.bsky.social and @bastetthecat.bsky.social - not to mention author Zoë Cretney!

An old timey illustration from The Chimes, showing a frightened old men surrounded by goblins. The caption reads "What Trotty saw in the belfry"

An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.

But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?

Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

"He-sa bring balance to da force and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; hisa kingdom will never end, okeday?”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
“Oh mooey mooey, Mary; you-sa found favour wid God! You-sa goin’ give birth to da son, and you-sa to call him lil’ Ani".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! Still, some great jams this year.

Looks like a good selection of scenarios!

Don't miss tonight's @miskatonicplayhouse.com livestream of the amazing Regency Cthulhu scenario The Viscount Who Left Me! 🫀 Starring @valygirlheather.bsky.social as Keeper, @thejunipertree.bsky.social , @embroideredyeti.bsky.social , @bastetthecat.bsky.social and @lynneahardy.bsky.social !

A young lady of good societal standing is introduced at a ball to three potential suitors, all with dark secrets that lead to even darker consequences. The scenarios range from weird science to high mythos. I promise you'll never look at Mr Darcy the same way again!

A book, entitled Host and Hostility, sits on a table surrounded by papers. In the bottom left hand corner, picture of Jane Austen can be seen wearing a party hat.

250 years ago today #JaneAusten was born. Little did she know that her works would go on to inspire a trilogy of ttrpg scenarios (alongside a myriad of other works).

To celebrate, Host and Hostility, my ENNIE award winning trio of 1-to-1 #RegencyCthulhu scenarios, is discounted to $2.50!
