Richard Swan

This is another great tale by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. And @longlukearnold.bsky.social narration is superb!

Can't wait to get my hands on the Scour!

There are 2 purposes to criminal punishment: retributive justice (loss of liberty as a punishment) and rehabilitation (changing you for the better). "Optimus" does neither, and is deeply stupid.

Slap drone.

To celebrate the release of The Scour, Richard Swan (Empire of the Wolf, The Great Silence) is sitting down in conversation with the wonderful Kell Woods (After the Forest, Upon a Starlit Tide) at the Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney.

Thanks Miguel - and I must say I'm very impressed and delighted with the book shelf!

The Scour is a welcome dip into Vonvalt’s past and the world of Empire of the Wolf. It reads like a well-earned reward to long-time readers of Richard Swan’s grimdark world, but will delight newcomers as well.

Thanks Serena!

Read this amazing piece of work by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social in one sitting on a train trip home. I need Vonvalt back in my life so I’ll definitely be rereading the Empire of the Wolf trilogy soon!

For minis. Like pew pew tabletop

Another man of taste. I knew there were two of us

I really enjoyed it!

I like the anime, don't get me wrong. But this was not a bad adaptation at all. I think it rewarded persistence, though. The first couple of episodes were unquestionably the weakest

Recently finished a full rewatch of the Cowboy Bebop live action remake and I'm sad that there won't be a second season of this. It really was a good series.

Thanks so much 🙏🏼

Promised I’d catch up with reviews & here I am with the first for @beforewegoblog.bsky.social!

I’ve said before how @richardswanauthor.bsky.social ‘s #TheScour both creeps out & entertains so now I went into a tiny bit more detail about it while spoiling nothing!

Author Richard Swan has returned to his fantasy sleuth Justice Sir Konrad Vonvault for a creepy dark fantasy novella that's a perfect read for spooky season.

Our spoiler-free review:

Thanks Daniel!

THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social is an atmospheric fantasy mystery that's both an excellent addition to the Empire of the Wolf trilogy, and a great entry point if you've never read the series. @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social continues to crush it with novellas.
