Our friends @hplhs.bsky.social have released a new astonishingly 'proptastic' licensed Call of Cthulhu adventure, The Spark Devil.

The deluxe box set measures 13.5 x 11.75 x 4.5 inches and weighs almost 5 pounds!

A dance/acrobatic/stunt show for the Bradford’s city of culture 2025. I was in awe.

Saw this lovely rack of bracket fungi on a tree stump (beech?). I suspect it is Ganoderma australe (or maybe G. applanatum), or artists conk. Apparently you can draw on the underside, scraping the white gills to reveal cocoa coloured spores

THANK YOU to everyone who has made our first Kickstarter in a decade, a success (in less than a day)! @chrislackey.bsky.social will now have a proper mic (and even his own chair – the stuff dreams are made of).

The KS remains open, anything more goes into a dedicated show fund (biscuits ahoy? 🧐)

"Such fun magic!"

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.
