I'm going to go through every story in @unwinnable.com's October issue over the course of today. Before we do, though, let us once again contemplate the spooktacularness of Tyler Pennington's horrific cover art.

And finally, I wrote a lengthy sponsored feature on Lost In Cult's forthcoming World of Horror board game. But more on that when it gets reprinted in full on the site... @lostincult.co.uk

@robsteinone.bsky.social thinks the scariest parts of Control Resonant are in the smaller moments: "If you dig into the smaller details – the bits of lore you might otherwise gloss over – you’ll find that Control is truly a world full of nightmares."

@nochshorn.bsky.social revisits Practical Magic. "...it is strange to me that it is remembered as a fall-cozy classic, a space that I feel it only occupies being viewed mainly through the clipped and focused lens of social media."

@mattmarrone.bsky.social saw the Paranormal Activity play and, well: "If a horror show leaves you with just one terrifying memory you’ll never shake, it’s done its job. Paranormal Activity on Broadway does its job."

@chiltonm.bsky.social finds arctic horror pales in comparison to arctic real life. "...every time the unknown horror reared its head in these books, I found myself getting impatient, and missing the comparatively mundane terrors of expeditions that really took place."

Tayo Adewole delves into Nick Harkaway's novel Gnomon: "Harkaway’s novel understands this notion of the atemporal machine god for what it is, an invasive mental narrative born of paranoia rather than inevitable reality. The big bad demon doesn't come into existence because you read a post once."

I'm in this issue, too, trying to figure out why werewolves have an allergy to silver. "I can only conclude that any notions of silver having magical properties are a modern invention. But if that’s true, why is there folklore regarding werewolves and witches being felled by silver bullets?"

Let's start with the features. @orringrey.com on Babysitter in Peril novels: "I’m talking about the phenomenon of mass market paperback thrillers aimed at teen and pre-teen audiences that exploded across bookstore shelves following the publication of Christopher Pike’s novel Slumber Party in 1985."

So I was watching 7 Golden Vampires and a lot of creeps in the undead army have hook swords, and it got me wondering if that's what inspired this weird Draconian weapon in a Den Beauvais illustration for Dragons of Autumn Twilight.

Fuck yea Brazil!

How did I get into TTRPGs? I loved monsters so much that a grade school friend told me about this game that involves metal miniature monsters and I could buy them at the hippy bookshop in town. When my dad brought me, they didnt have miniatures, but he got me Monster Manual II instead. Game over.

My first 5 RPGs (in order actually played) Marvel Super Heroes Dungeons & Dragons (red box) Star Wars D6 Call of Cthulhu Paranoia or MERP
