I am not going to lie. I prefer Ian Culbard’s comic adaptations of Lovecraft’s stories to the originals. Stuff that does not hit in the prose (I have opinions on the prose) really works in these graphic novels. Go find them, go read them, and tell me I am wrong.

It getting dark outside just after the sun has come up means it's time to start reading more ghost stories, right?

Prompted by some questions on Dark Heresy of old, it’s into the archives of the Tarantine Cabal I go. It’s been a long time since these words were set down. Such good times. So much craziness.

I love the Time Travelers series by Ian Mortimer. They perfectly hit that part of history that a writer really wants to know - not what happened, but what it was like to be live then. Highly recommended.

I’ve already listened to the groundedness book, which was excellent, but I wanted a physical copy to reference.
The Craft of Fiction is referenced a lot in the evolution of ‘Show, Don’t Tell’, which I’m writing a Substack about at the moment. At a glance it’s certainly of its time…

Decided to paint this sanctifier up as a Black Priest based on this classic piece of John Blanche art.
