This needs to be on everyone’s Christmas list
I'm posting books out to people who have ordered them. It's always a relief to know they've arrived.
Exciting thing in the post!

Found a stock library with some great stills from films we’ve covered before, so it’s a good excuse to revisit a few classics. For example, why not seek out episode 20 where we talked about ‘Frenzy’. pod.link/1547179456/e...

Having my story 'Neck Ek' published by @generalwitch.bsky.social has encouraged me to push out the rest of my little horrors; I'm sitting on a pile of stories between 1000-3500, and I aim to get them out there #horror #writing #shortstories

Our designer David has a game called fantasy classics, where he chooses books he thinks should be published as classics. With him all this way on this one.
Look out for an episode of our Working Class Library podcast about it, featuring the great novelist and Mole fan David Nicholls, coming soon.

Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands is the much anticipated follow up to Cyclopean: The Great Abyss. An old school CRPG in the vein of Ultima, Questron and Legacy of the Ancients, based on H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle.
