For those who’ve missed Telefantasy Time Jump on Spotify, the auto-posting from our host, Libsyn, seems to have stopped working. I’ve put up our newest free episode directly, though. Let me know if you can find it.

“Clutch Cargo” (and to a lesser extent, “Space Angel”) were staples of Chicago kids’ TV in my youth. I’ve never seen lips the same way since.

We've just launched the Kickstarter for my gamebook saga 'The Curse of Cthulhu Books 1 & 2'! Travel to a remote Scottish island, infiltrate a deadly cult and find the idol - or die trying!

Hardback mockups of The Curse of Cthulhu Book 1 and The Curse of Cthulhu Book 2. Book 1 cover is the external of a Gothic cathedral with giant tentacles coming over the top of it, and sea spray at the bottom. The colour is mostly dark greens, with some blood orange for the windows. Book 2 cover is of a cathedral organ, its pipes turning into tentacles at the top, and two large Elder God shaped creatures adorning it like gargoyles. Both hardbacks are set against a glowing green background.

Starship Alexandria news! For December, instead of a regular episode, @emmanewman.bsky.social and I will be releasing an Advent Calendar with a short episode every day from 1st to 25th December, talking about our favourite TV series.

Wonderful work, it should be read by everyone with an interest in alternate history. Cracking read too.

It's hard to believe, but 2025 means Romanitas has been in print for 20 years. A modern world where the Roman Empire never fell. If that sounds good to you, the ebook's just £0.99 for the anniversary all this month! www.amazon.co.uk/Romanitas-1-...

The Newsletter might be late today. I’m in Minor Injuries with a (very) minor injury, a spelk (as my Mum used to call them) in my heel which after two weeks feels like it’s still in there, making it occasionally painful to walk. NHS great as always: walk in, get x-ray, don’t pay a penny.
