I love writing tabletop RPGs. It was my first published (If not paid) work and it’s something I’ve continued working on up to the present day. In fact, my biggest project this year was an RPG book and it was great fun as are the RPG related projects I’m hoping to announce next year. Here’s …
I cut my teeth on horror with Fear on Four. My stories of the dark were told to me by polite, urbane British not-quite men far past my bedtime on radio. My love for the genre, and for audio, was born there and both continue to this day. Cullen Bunn came to the genre a …
There are a few ways to instantly sell me on a story. This is one of them: ‘Our Final Halloween is about five kids who wake up in an abandoned house. They don’t know why they’re there, how they got there, or whose blood they’re covered in…’ Yep. Sold. I’m in. Especially as the book is written and …
Henry Barajas has been doing great work in circles I frequent for a while now. Currently, he’s in the closing stages of a kickstarter for what looks like his best project yet. Here’s some of the amazing art, and Henry with the details. A resonant, neglected slice of American history is told for the first …

Chris Lackey is a fiercely talented, prolific guy. As part of the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast he regular delves into in depth, unflinching and often very funny, textual analysis of Lovecraft’s work. He also produced a graphic novel a couple of years ago called Transreality. It’s great for all sorts of reasons, not the least …
Last year at Thought Bubble, which is great and you should go to by the way, I bought Art. I could tell it was Art with a capital ‘A’ firstly because it was the first time I’d bought any and secondly because it was great. The stuff I really liked was a trio of Tom …

CREAK! is one of the all time greats. Elysian Springs is a new anthology, currently on Kickstarter. All the stories are set in the same …
The HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast does exactly what its title suggests; discusses Lovecraft in a literary context. What the title doesn’t suggest is the enthusiasm, humour and absolute awareness of HPL’s legion of shortcomings the show embodies. I had the pleasure of attending a live recording in Leeds in 2012 with my friend, …
The UK indie comics circuit is brilliant, in every way you can define that word. It’s a shining beacon of intelligence, energy and enthusiasm in an industry that’s regularly predicted the world ending since at least 1999. It’s crammed full of incredible talents and the work they produce and, bluntly, it’s a beacon that puts …
