You can now see it there. I have also included it below. This is the universe that GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND is set, as well as several short stories. And yes, I’d love to hand UNFILTERED off to a publisher. Downright eager to, in fact.

*Another* DUST short film: LABORATORY CONDITIONS.
I know I just did one, but this is fun, too. It could be easily adapted into a full hour TV episode, too. A lot of these are their right length already, but LABORATORY CONDITIONS clearly got stripped down to its essentials. I’d like to see a longer version.
DUST film: IT CAME NAMELESS IN SPRING.
This is one of DUST’s better (and creepier!) short films, and that’s saying something. I’m not embedding the video because the thumbnail for IT CAME NAMELESS IN SPRING is a total spoiler for the ending, though. Didn’t stop me from enjoying it, but hopefully you’ll get the full effect this way.

New Kindle Vella: SHE IS A DUCAL MODEL IN A ZOMBIE-LURKING GOTHICK WORLD.
My wife gave me the idea for that title. Moe, she says, Moe. If you must do this, go with Gilbert and Sullivan*. In fairness, I told her I was looking for a bad pun.
Anyway, the first three (and free!) episodes of SHE IS A DUCAL MODEL IN A ZOMBIE-LURKING GOTHICK WORLD** is now live, after many an annoying adventure along the way yesterday night. The rest will hopefully load today.
And check out that cover! Made using only the finest paint.net pixels. Artisanal, those are.
*I am paraphrasing. Perhaps unfairly.
**Formerly THE DEFENSE OF CASTLE WINDERMERE, which would have been a fine title except that a) the party was only briefly at Castle Windermere and b) was never actually shown defending it.

Huzzah!
- Short story: THE STARS ARE WRONG. Fiction. Cosmic horror is where you find it.
- RPG: Ashes of Empire, Part 2: The Empire of Ash (Section I). This may be a more complicated game world than I thought.
I don’t want to read John Steinbeck’s long lost, and bad, werewolf novel.
Why? Reread the title of this post.
Check out this “The SCP Foundation” site my readers found!
One of my readers (JAB) found this: the SCP Foundation. Said reader described the site as “Delta Green and Warehouse 13 had a love child:” I personally would have said GURPS Warehouse 23

My hopeless plea to the horror section of Hollywood.
Dear Sirs or Madams*,

*Mostly ‘Sirs.’ I wonder why that is, particularly since the existing status quo is serving up crap on a regular basis.
Hey, who needs some #Hastur-esque Nightmare Fuel?
Here you go: strip out the color on these pics and maybe do some basic Photoshop distortions on them and you’ve got instant freak-outs for your next horror game.
Don’t click the link if you don’t like being vaguely freaked out by stuff. No blood, no gore, no tentacles – but the pictures are kind of unnerving, in that pattern-mismatch sort of way.
‘Teen Paranormal Romance.’
David Thompson passes along a picture of a section header from a Barnes & Noble; I saw something similar (‘Supernatural Romance’) at a Books-a-Million yesterday when I picked up a copy of Gail Carriger’s Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate).

Gimme a break, it’s steampunk. Alt-history steampunk horror. OK, OK, maybe there’s just a bit of romance novel ethos in it… but it also has clockwork assassin beetles in it, so I don’t want to hear any snickering, OK? Anyway, this entire werewolf/vampire Byronic hero thing seems to be quite the fad. Did the demographic that reads romance novels get bored with pirates?
And, more importantly, is there any way to suck them farther into the genre?
