Weaver of strange stories for strange people

Why should you read #crimsonthreads?

Each book is chocked full about what about horror. Not just scares, gore, and dreadful moments. It tackles the human condition through inhumane circumstances. Horror is where the evil and conflict of daily life becomes a tangible thing we can defeat.

Every so often I get asked about how to start reading again.

This is an excellent post.

I would add two things; short story collections are great places to start if you have an incredibly shot attention span AND maybe controversially...

In my personal opinion, I would recommend focusing in on physical books over ebooks and audiobooks (especially if the latter two are accessed by an app on your phone).

I find it's easier to lock in on a new story when it's in front of me and there's zero chance of notifications.

Also, no ads!

One of my favorite illustrations from the original AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide (1979) is Darlene’s wonderful succubus. ❤️

But did you know?

Take a look at the second image. That’s Gustave Doré’s depiction of Myrrha from Dante’s Inferno, published in 1861.

Look at the pose. The bent knee. The arm resting over her head.

118 years later, add a pair of bat wings, a black sun, and a little Darlene magic, and you’ve got a classic piece of AD&D artwork! 😈

I absolutely LOVE discovering connections like this in the art we grew up with.

Now I’m wondering… how many OTHER classic D&D illustrations have secrets like this hiding in plain sight? 👀
