Black Library has released a new Hallowed Knights story this week, if you’re into such things. “The Ghosts of Demesnus” finds Gardus Steel Soul embarking on a personal journey into the secret places of his past – will he find the answers he seeks, or something more sinister? (more…)

The Sforza Curse
I’ve posted a new Royal Occultist short story over on my Patreon site. “The Creeping Man” finds St. Cyprian and Gallowglass attempting to contain the titular menace before he claims what he’s come for.

As this tale easily stands alone, I figured I might as well pop it up for folks to enjoy.
To that end, I’ve made the story free to read. If you enjoy it, be sure to check out the other Royal Occultist stories available on Patreon, and maybe hit ‘Like’ on the Royal Occultist Facebook page!

While it’s only available in print at the moment, it will be available to download shortly. You can grab your copy from Amazon.com and its various affiliates. And if you haven’t yet checked out the previous three issues, I encourage you to do so.
Doomed Meddler Deal
A terrific deal, here, if you’re of a digital frame of mind. I have Royal Occultist stories in both issue 2 and issue 4, but I highly recommend that you grab all three. Occult Detective Quarterly is a fantastic magazine, and it needs all the support it can get.

So, without further ado, here’s the Occult Detective himself, discussing Gene Rodenberry’s SPECTRE…
