"A charming blend of camp creatures, humour, and genuine horror" (Set the Tape)

I'm told that's how the title of the Danish edition of Night of the Necromancer - GENFÆRDETS HÆVN! - translates, the original being considered too much of a spolier for potential readers. The fantasically grim cover is by Henrik Exler , who has already produced new cover art for a number of books in the Sværd og Trolddom range. It's the second time the Wraith Queen has appeared on the cover of an…

The Kingsport Metamorphosis , my third Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook , has been out for over five months now, but I only came across these reviews the other day.

And here's what they had to say about the series in general: "I truly love the Arkham…
I have just updated the Gamebooks page on my blog. It hadn't been updated since December 2018, at which time I had only had 20 gamebooks published. The total currently stands at 30, with two more already written and waiting to be published.

The theatre was subsequently rebuilt in 1614. Shakespeare Vs.…

I've just seen the new trailer for Warhammer 40,000 11th edition and, quite frankly, it's awesome. It also sounds like they got Richard Armitage to do the voiceover. It was great to see Games Workshop back at the UK Games Expo - Ork bottle openers, Tyranid sceneted candles, Necron Scarab plushies and all - and in such force. It almost makes me want to pitch another story idea to the Black Library.…

I may be slightly late to the party on this one*, but I become aware that Games Workshop have released a new Defiler deamon engine for Warhammer 40,000.

Iron Hands is available to buy as an eBook from Black Library, and here's an extract to give you a…
