290: Media Catch-Up – Books (ad-free)
Added 2024-07-02 13:55:59 +0000 UTCOnce again, we’re talking about books we’ve been reading recently, discussing how they’ve inspired us, or maybe just given us nightmares. There’s quite a range this time, and more digressions than usual, but you should still come away with a few solid recommendations.
The Blasphemous Tome Issue 12
Issue 12 of The Blasphemous Tome will be going to press soon. This is the fanzine we produce for Patreon backers of The Good Friends of Jackson Elias. The latest issue contains “A New Dark Age”, a modern-day Call of Cthulhu scenario by our own Paul Fricker, set in a town near you.
Every backer will receive a PDF of issue 12 as soon as it’s available. Anyone backing us at the $5 level or above by the end of July will also get a printed and signed copy.
