Spouse bought the game upon seeing this post. Excellent replies to the horrid comments.

I am so pleased to learn about this sequel! Loving the cover art.

I really enjoyed Strange Beasts. Sam and Hel are delightful. I look forward to going on another adventure with them. Dracula and Holmes stories sit on my shelf, and SB is a very worthy homage/successor to both.

That there is a Cat Hug🐈‍⬛

Love this cover. I think it's my favorite of the trilogy. The greens and blues are gorgeous, and the volcano makes my geologist heart happy. Tarrant is a great character, and I love how you captured him here.
Seeing the art posted here sparked a reread of this series for me, so thank you!

Comic. [two people in labcoats look at body pierced with blade draped over bench] PERSON 1: We found him lying uncomformably on the lab bench. I wonder if the iron-rich intrusion in his back is related. PERSON 2 with ponytail: It could be clastic. Maybe a rift opened in his body, and the intrusive material later fell into the hole.

It is a wonderful wonderful read.

All these end-of-episode cliffhangers on #murderbot ! 😭

Read the books and watch the show! Absolutely delightful.

An extremely leggy black cat. Toes are very slightly spread out. She is sitting in a round cat bed under the desk. She is looking up at the camera with wide eyes.

Zoom and Enhance! The Void has eyes.

Wnile I'll never do a straight shot of it again (all respect to Krissy!!), Spouse has been experimenting with Malort cocktails, and this one is not bad at all! www.patrontequila.com/cocktails/pa...

Malort seems to work best with sweeter or grapefruit-forward drinks.

Malort > absinthe = licorice
