“The Deep has claimed him. Mark my words, it will soon be revealed that [Professor Ragnarsson’s] death was closely tied to the sea and its foul inhabitants.”

Nigel Blackthorne, gentleman occultist

The latest episode of The Well Below the Valley is now available on Patreon. A free preview is below the cut:

New Patreon Post/ Journey to the Water, Interlude Two

Maybe he should have stayed in the citadel. It was safe, and it was small, and hadn’t that been what he had desired all along?

Journey to the Water

There is a shiny new chapter of Journey to the Water available on Patreon! I’ll also be back later today with the latest episode of The Well Below the Valley. If you’re not subscribed, you’re missing out!

Song of the Week

Enya, “How Can I Keep from Singing?” (American hymn)

I’m no longer religious, but I don’t deny the comfort of the old songs. Also, I was a 90’s kid. Enya is where it’s at.

Okay. The Newsletter Poll is now closed. Not too many responses, but they were overwhelmingly in favor of a newsletter, so I will get working on that and it will be available later this summer. There will be a way to sign up with your email.

The next episode of The Well Below the Valley, titled “Convergence,” will be up on Patreon tomorrow! Interlude Two of Journey to the Water will accompany it. The latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up here on the blog on Wednesday.

This past weekend, I went to the Oddities and Curiosities Expo!

The writer, a brunette white woman with a short side cut & a bun, glasses, and multiple layered skirts, carrying a mask and a hat, looks up at a banner reading "The Oddities & Curiosities Expo." The backdrop is dark blue with an Art Deco circular design.
A somewhat blurry banner (I took a bad picture) featuring an illustrated pile of skulls and the title "Skulls! Skulls! Skulls!!!" stands behind a set of velvet ropes.

I’m not super into taxidermy (I haven’t eaten meat for something like 16 years), but there were vampire hunting kits, cryptid paraphernalia, antique and gothic fashions, and so much great art. I’ll have a post up on Instagram today with some more pictures.

Thank you for being here. Have an excellent week.

New Patreon Post/ Journey to the Water Chapter XIV

I could not help but think of Phyreios in ruins. Whatever was taking place in this city, no good would come of it, I was certain.

Chapter XIV: The City on the Hill

There is a new chapter over on Patreon!

Song of the Week

Evanescence, “The Chain” (Fleetwood Mac cover)

New Patreon Post/ The Book of the New Moon Door: Part Two, Chapter Five

The old monk bleeds from lacerations on his face and arms. One side of his thick lenses shows a crack through the center. “Ondir preserve us,” he wails. “This is holy ground!”

The Book of the New Moon Door

There’s a new chapter available on Patreon! If you’re a blog reader, you’ve probably heard my Patreon spiel, but if you’ve got an extra $3 a month, I’d appreciate your support. Otherwise, keep an eye out for this chapter on this website next week.

Queens of the Stone Age, “I Never Came”

Not much else to share this week, though this weekend I am going to a talk by Neil Gaiman, who is one of my favorite authors. The event was originally in 2020 and was rescheduled at least twice. I’m very excited.

Have an excellent week!

New Patreon Post/ Journey to the Water Chapter XIII

I had learned that even forgotten, nameless gods had power at their disposal, and they guarded that which they saw as theirs with jealousy.

Journey to the Water

Eske is searching for buried treasure with his newfound friends in the latest chapter of Journey to the Water, now available on Patreon. Unseen dangers, however, lurk on the island. You can read this chapter right now if you sign up for Patreon, or you can wait a whole week until it makes its appearance here on the blog.

Song of the Week

The Cure, “Burn”

Hello friends! It’s May! Still pretty chilly where I am, but spring is here and soon everything will be green again.

There will be a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up here on the blog on Wednesday.

In case you missed it, the second episode of The Well Below the Valley is available on Patreon! You can see a free preview here.

I think after this week, my life will calm down enough to start streaming on Twitch again and/or doing something else gaming-related; I should have an update on that later this week or early next week.

As always, thanks for being here. If you like what you read, tell your friends about me! And have an excellent week.
