Good morning! Or afternoon. Or evening.
Welcome to another edition of this newsletter.
I hope that your week has gone well and that you are in good spirits.
I’ve spent the last few days dealing with family medical issues. It’s nothing immediately life threatening but it is something that needs to be regularly addressed so it doesn’t become life threatening. In any case, I’m running late getting this edition out so I’m keeping it short.
Golden Goblin Press publishes both RPG manuals and fiction anthologies. A number of their Kickstarters have been built on putting out a manual and a companion anthology in the same campaign . Play the game. Read some stories. Tails of Valor, the RPG manual for playing cats in a Cthulhu Mythos world, was paired with Tails of Terror, an anthology of short horror stories told from the point of view of cats.
The stories were:
“Brown Jenkin’s Reckoning” by Edward M. Erdelac
“Derpyfoot” by Christine Morgan
“The Cat in the Pall” by Pete Rawlik
“Ghost Story” by Brian M. Sammons
“Palest of Humans” by Don Webb
“Bats in the Belfry” by William Meikle
“Satisfaction Brought Him Back” by Glynn Owen Barrass
“The Bastet Society” by Sam Stone
“The Veil of Dreams” by Stephen Mark Rainey
“The Quest of Pumpkin the Brave” by Oscar Rios
“The Cats of the Rue d’Auseil” by Neil Baker
“The Knowledge of the Lost Master” by Andi Newton
“The Ruins of an Endless City” by Lee Clark Zumpe
“A Glint in the Eyes” by D.A. Madigan
“A Field Guide to Wanderlust” Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.
“In the End there is a Drain” by Tim Waggoner
I had the fun of providing a small illustration for each story. The following gallery features all my illustrations. If you want to know which picture goes with which story – you’ll need to get the book. Heh heh.
A Green Man
This week’s process GIF is of a Green Man portrait. I’ve written before of my love for swamp monsters. Green Men weren’t originally swamp monsters but, in modern times, especially in modern comics, they’ve become associated with them. I’ve drawn plenty of swamp monsters. This was my first Green Man.
You can find this fellow on all sorts of schtuff in my Redbubble store.
Thank you for reading. My apologies for the brevity of this week’s newsletter.
I hope that, in your coming week, you have a host of good things happen and plenty of people with whom to share those events.
See you in seven!
