👁 The Grisly Eye Newsletter - April 2025
Apologies for the silence over the last year. It’s been a busy one for me (a new job for example) so here are the updates:
🚀 CONT/EXT Launches
I’m thrilled to announce CONT/EXT is now available from the nice people at Tuesday Knight Games. It’s a britpunk one-shot of existential horror for use with Mothership®. By me. Get it here:
PDF-only copies are also available from itch.io, and if you’re in the UK you can also buy direct from me.
🖋️ New writings…
As part of my work writing CONT/EXT, I put together some articles that dive into cosmic horror and British science fiction. You can read more here:
Alien as outside context entity (part 1 and part 2): Where I try to dig hard into what true alienness might mean, how alien physiologies and psychologies have been depicted in science fiction, and how we can create our own outside context entities.
The Shiftless Horror of Mothership: At the heart of British science fiction is the trope of the oppressive institution. In this post, I examine the elements that go into this trope and how it relates to CONT/EXT.
On Remembrance of the Daleks: Where I fondly reminisce about my favourite Doctor Who episode. Why it rocked, what it means for British science fiction, and what we can learn from it.
🦋 Bluesky
In 2025 social media basically exploded. You may have heard about it. You may even have caught some shrapnel. Since then I’ve been searching around for a new place to land.
You can mostly find me on Bluesky these days:
I’m on Mastodon to a lesser extent, but please follow me on either.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned. My next project is Shift, a gig-horror module for Liminal Horror. I’m hoping to get it out the door faster than I did for CONT/EXT (2 years) lmao.
