 After digging around through the guts of this blog, we've decided to mothball it but make it available as a sort of internet-fossil of sorts, in case anyone might find something interesting or useful amidst all this badly aging verbiage and decayed ambitions. By all means, please do feel free to poke around a bit, if you're so inclined. We wish you all the best. We've moved on. Maybe you'd

It seems that nearly everyone who even dabbles in horror will quote Mr. Lovecraft's first line from his essay on Supernatural Horror in Literature, you know the one that goes; "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear..." Yeah. Whatever. Down the page a bit, the third paragraph to be exact, is something that we find much more interesting: "Man's first

Okay. So it seemed like a great idea at the time, but all those blog rolls arranged in-between the ABCs we used to have on the Left-Hand side-bar are now history. Yet another abandoned-blog-on-hiatus has hit us with bad web-juju so we've pulled the plug on the whole thing until we can sort out a better way to handle things going forward. We'll strip out the blog rolls at Hereticwerks as well

So...I was digging through some of the old files of dead projects and such and re-discovered the mini-comic 'Little Wilbur in Lovecraft Land,' from 1988. The original cover-panel looked like this: On a lark I revised the image slightly, swapped-out the 50cents with a good 'ol IA! and made it green. What do you think? I kind of like it so I uploaded it to Zazzle and made it into a T-shirt,

Anthology Builder is a web-based outfit that lets you assemble your own custom anthology of short stories hosted at their site. There are a lot of Public Domain tales available, but what makes this site interesting and worth keeping an eye on is that they are also encouraging authors to contribute stories that have previously already been published; the Author Guidelines are HERE. This seems

Working on fresh Humanspace Empires RPG stuff in-between a few other projects led us to another old post from the Netherwerks blog that didn't make the transition cleanly. Speculating about the space opera pre-history of Prof. M. A. R.

The amazing collection of 500 fairytales gathered by folklorist and historian Franz Xaver von Schönwerth has been locked away in an archive in Regensburg, Germany for over 150 years. Jacob Grimm referred to von  Schönwerth as the only person in the world who could possibly replace him or his brother. Now that's high praise. You can read more about this incredible treasure-trove of
