The financial strain and proliferation of AI bullshit upon small presses and authors alike certainly isn't helping matters.

A beautifully cursed mashup of SH and Bloodborne is the crossover I didn't know I needed until this very moment.

If every follower I have donated 50 cents I would have enough to cover Benny's surgery.

If you can afford it please throw me anything you can, if you can't please share the link.

So go ahead and grab a copy, not just because my story is great (see, I told you it'd go to my head) but because every one of these issues is full of great stories by a fantastic bunch of authors, and I consider it a privilege to have my name listed alongside theirs in these pages.

So I'm glad I made "The Contents of a Box" sad and a little sweet, as it feels fitting here, the final story not only of this issue, but of this series--a series which has been a hell of a lot of fun to write for and, as anyone who has read it will know, a hell of a lot of fun to read, too.

To me personally this release comes as quite the cocktail of emotions, as I am the featured author of this issue (a title which may go to my head a little)--an issue which, I am sad to say, is the final installment of The Cellar Door.

The gameplay changes make the experience different enough from the original that it feels like it's own thing. We know the story, but not what's around the next corner, so it kept things interesting.

I don't like horror movies because, get this, there's enough real-life horror in the world already. I don't understand the purpose of fiction and I think it's basically real. I drove into a tunnel painted on a mountain wall, and then I backed up and did it again.

We could all use a little no-stakes incomprehension, as a treat.

Definitely. For how simple it all is, it's an impressively weird film.

I'm becoming convinced that for some people that shit IS pornography, or at the very least scratches the same sort of itch.

There's dark in a way that works and adds to the gameplay experience, and then there's "I can't see what the fuck I'm doing" dark, and that's just frustrating.
My biggest gameplay gripe is that the gun handling and the enemies feel like they're from two different games. Just didn't feel right.

I played through the entire game and never got the hang of the combat, so it was an incredibly frustrating experience. It felt so bad that it really distracted me from what is, artistically speaking, a fantastic game.
