- Thread starter Dante's Stalker
- Start date
Bought three "Call of Cthulhu" table top role playing Scenarios - "Blood Brothers", "Blackwater Creek" and "Missed Dues".
Currently reading through all three now and am evaluating how suitable they are for running in our group.

Apologies for the double post.
"The Warrior Queen: The Life and Legend of Æthelflæd, Daughter of Alfred the Great" by Joanna Arman.
Yes, that is indeed the full convoluted title and just as it implies - it is a biography of Æthelflæd (870 - 918 A.D), the Queen of Mercia and daughter of Alfred the Great who after the death of her husband, defended her kingdom against the invasion by the Great Heathen Army. Yet despite this she was largely forgotten by history until relatively recently.
It's a pretty good book, well researched and everything. Not sure how interesting it'd be to anyone outside of England.

im rereading "The knight, the fool, and the dead" by Steve Cole and "All flesh is grass" by Una McCormick.
"The Flash volume 1: Strange Attractors" by Si Spurrier and Mike Deadoto Jr. The Flash learns that the speed force is more mysterious than he ever know.

"imperium" by joshua dysart and doug braithwarthe. Toyo Harada is a billionaire with psychic powers and the desire to make the world better. Sadly the world doesnt agree with his methods.
perfect for fans of morally grey sci-fi.
houses of the unholy by ed brubaker and sean phillips. A thriller focusing on a private eye teaming up with the Fbi in order to stop a cult-inspired series of murders. It looks into the Satanic panic of the 80s and why people are drawn to cults in the first place.
has a low key horror vibe.
"rare flavours" by ram v and fillipe andrade. It focuses on Rubin Baksh, a food lover wanting to create a documentary. But he's an immortal creature fond of eating humans as much as he loves their food. Is a documentary all he's doing?
its a solid read focusing on why we create art.

"Vengeance of the Moon Knight" is written by Jed Mckay and art by Alessandro Cappuccio. Moon Knight is dead and it focuses on how his friends carry on before an imposter appears.
it has some great character work but works better if you read the other moon knight issues.
"Fighting from the Shadows" is a cool AU where Harry gets a do over after dying in book 5.

Just finished reading At Night We Played in the Road by Chantelle Atkins. It's the second time I've read it (first time was a beta read--a year or so ago?) and I honestly recommend it. It's a spin-off to her "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" series, which is excellent.
If you like gritty, realistic stories that touch of difficult/complex family dynamics, real-world problems, perpetuating/breaking of abusive cycles and the like, I'd definitely encourage looking her up. It's really good.

Im rereading "20th Century Men" by Deniz Camp, Stipan Moran and Aditya Bidikar.
Its a alternate take on the Soviet-Afghan war of the 1980s but with Russia having its own Iron Man.
Its perfect for Metal Gear fans.

"The Saga of Hrólfr Kraki"
As the title implies, it is a saga about the eponymous legendary 6th century Danish king. It's probably my favourite of all of the Scandinavian sagas, it has betrayal, magic swords, surprise incest and ends with the heroes fighting an army of the undead - everything you want in your classic mythology.

"These Savage Shores" by Ram V and Sumit Kumar. European vampires get more than what they could handle when they tangle with the monsters of pre-colonial india.
Infidel by Pornsak Pichetshete and Aaron Campbell- a haunted house story for the post 9/11 era.
