    Hello,

    Not totally game related – but a mate of mine – has written a book (Well he has written several actually) but this one he has actually put out in the world.

    It’s self published on Amazon and available in Ebook, Paperback, and Hardcover.

    It’s a Victorian set anthology – which I am assured as inspired by the old Amicus Horror movies – where they was a framing device, with each of the stories being self contained.

    Any way the over view is –

    Terrifying Tales of the Brotherhood of the Ever-Tolling Bell.

    This collection of short stories presents a richly woven narrative centred on the Brotherhood of the Ever-Tolling Bell, a secretive and malevolent society whose members span from historical to fictional characters. This collection of intertwined stories explores themes of ambition, power, corruption, and the dark consequences of human desires. The Brotherhood serves as a focal point for tales of initiation, moral dilemmas, and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge, revealing the complex interplay between personal ambition and the sacrifices demanded by allegiance to such a shadowy order.

    Check it out if you want!

    and he has written another!

    This one is a comedy, satire, on Victorian culture and values – topical I know!

    Enter the scented ruins of Victorian society with this outrageously satirical anthology, capturing the essays, memoirs, reviews, and unsolicited advice of Sebastian Spiteful: a critic, libertine, and unabashed social saboteur.

    Spiteful navigates the era’s labyrinth of moral hypocrisy with sharp wit, whether lampooning dinner party etiquette, psychoanalysing the Brontës, or mistakenly treating brothels as literary salons.

    Each barbed remark is delivered with theatrical scorn and the swish of a lace-gloved hand.

    Beyond mere mockery, this collection peels back the velvet curtain on Victorian views of sexuality. In a society obsessed with propriety, sex was tucked away behind euphemism and embroidered corsets—simultaneously denied in polite conversation yet feverishly debated in hushed corners and scandalous pamphlets. Spiteful exposes the absurdity and repression that defined the age, highlighting both its rigid moral codes and the flourishing subcultures that rebelled in secret.

    Witty, brazen, and unapologetically flamboyant, this anthology invites you not simply to read, but to recline upon a velvet chaise of cynicism and contemplate the sighs and subversions beneath the surface of Victorian desire.

    Relax.

    Sebastian Spiteful will do all the scandalous sighing for you.
