We’re back and we’re preparing to pillage. This weird, shining tower looks like it should contain treasures, or at least an interesting story to discuss. There’s rustling in the undergrowth surrounding it, but we’ll just... The post The Tower of the Elephant appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

You may remember Mike as the director and... The post Special: “The Thing on the Roof” by Robert E Howard, read by Mike Perceval-Maxwell appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re hitting the books. That’s probably not fair, though. Just because they’re full of boxing tales doesn’t mean they can hit back. And two-fisted stories don’t actually seem to have any fists... The post The Works of Robert E Howard appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re spoiling for a fight. Well, a boxing match at least. There’s this fellow we met down at the ice house who’s promised us a bout or two. We heard he’s some... The post The Life of Robert E Howard appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re ransacking forbidden ruins, crumbling temples, and the shelves of this abandoned video store in search of a sword and sorcery film worth watching. Our quest has has been a perilous one.... The post Sword and Sorcery part 2 appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re puzzling over the riddle of steel. Is it an enigma? Maybe some clever bit of wordplay? It’s probably safer if we stick to swordplay, especially with all these sorcerers around. They... The post Sword and Sorcery part 1 appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re playing God. It’s a demanding role but we have hubris to spare! In fact, no one has ever had as much hubris as we do. We shall use our hubris to... The post Weird Science in Call of Cthulhu appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re seeking direction. While human lives are generally chaotic, we can at least bring order to our work. Pinning down good scenario structures can help us pretend that the world makes sense.... The post Scenario Structures appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back with another special interview episode. This time, Scott talks to fan-favourite YouTuber and author, Seth Skorkowsky. Unfortunately, Jon Hook — Seth’s co-host on their new podcast, Modern Mythos — was held up. Happily,...

We’re back and we’re back again. It feels like going around in circles. Or maybe the circles are going around us. It’ll all become clear in time. But few of us have experienced time in... The post The Endless appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back with another special interview episode. This time, Scott talks to bestselling science fiction and fantasy author Adrian Tchaikovsky. In particular, they discuss how Tchaikovsky portrays a wide range of non-human characters in his...

We’re back and we’re putting on our reading glasses. At least two of us are now old enough that we need them to make out anything smaller than a billboard. Even then, we’re still not... The post Media Catch-Up – Books appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back with another special episode. This time, Paul talks to Professor Christopher McGlothlin about horror films.

We’re back and we’re looking for like-minded individuals to join our investigator organisation. Sure, the pay is awful but the work is disgusting, deadly, and likely to drive you insane. It’s a bit like working... The post Investigator Organisations in Call of Cthulhu appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re presenting a somewhat darker episode than usual. While The Good Friends of Jackson Elias is definitely a horror podcast, most of the horror we discuss is rooted in the fantastic. In... The post Strange NPCs: Albert Fish appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re going on our summer holidays! What could be finer than drifting down the Danube, marvelling at all the willows crowding these sandy little islets? Well, maybe not being consumed or driven... The post The Willows appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re and we’re contemplating the secrets of the universe. People have warned us that it isn’t good for the human psyche to truly understand its insignificance in the wider cosmos. Luckily, as... The post Cosmic Horror appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re heading out for a night on the town, or at least what’s left of the town. Apparently, this new dinner theatre is to die for. Their menu is light on vegetarian... The post Cadaver appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re contemplating the mysteries of life and death. Sure, we could read a lot of dusty old religious texts but we’d rather seek the wisdom of the prophet Klarkash-Ton. His visions of... The post Mythos Deities: Ubbo-Sathla and Mordiggian appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re sucking at the glass teat again. Like all lazy creative types, we watch a lot of TV and try to convince ourselves it’s research. There certainly is a lot that the... The post Media Catch-Up: Television appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .

We’re back and we’re job hunting. This makes a pleasant change. We’re more used to things hunting us. But how much does your occupation actually matter when you’re running around the globe, trying to save... The post Occupations in Call of Cthulhu appeared first on Blasphemous Tomes .
