editorial text bracketed by flourishes

So many stories, so little time. This is why focus and workflow are so important. Drafting and shipping three different stories each week is no easy feat, but the work is made much simpler with a solid content management system. Now if only we could apply this to marketing, along with an equal amount of available time and energy.

Anyway, The Conglomerate persists in its efforts to harness the power of the eldritch; you can read the updates in Under Construction. Isabelle and Edgar have themselves a little chat away from Ceres in A Vampire’s Vengeance. We’re pretty sure Solomon is on the edge of madness, but we cannot say for certain; perhaps you can divine his trajectory when you catch up with House. It’s always something with doctors and horror, isn’t it; we see as much in The Terrific Experiment. And finally, we begin to uncover some of the worst of the epidemic that has brought the world to its knees in Bus Driver.

Let’s get into it →

As mentioned in the Editorial, The Conglomerate continues to be built out. Much of the work is in the underlying foundation; we here at the Calamity desire to make this foundation as solid as possible, as we anticipate innumerable attractions arising from it. I do believe the word we are looking for is bulletproof. This is Cthulhu on steroids, but with human arrogance and ingenuity surrounding it. This is not some cheap SCP imitation but a universe operating in a completely different manner in an organization with completely different aims.

As the sole architect of the foundational documentation, it was my desire to have the first set of documents ready for human parsing this week. However, much of the documentation requires a good amount of editing and rewriting in order that it all align with a core canon before it may be presented to the public. Therefore, the work continues. Hopefully we will see these documents come to light within the next six months. Maybe sooner.

In the meantime, please proceed to the rest of the backstage attractions we have prepared for you.

Is it confidence, arrogance, foolhardiness, or something else driving Solomon back into the dreamspace to hunt down and expunge the presence from the house? Take a gander for yourself and decide in this edition’s installment of House:

In this edition’s classic horror, we bringing you a nasty bit of a surprise. The poor fools are unprepared for what they discover when a hypnotic experiment goes wrong in The Terrific Experiment:

The gift of time is, for many, an incredible gift indeed. Unless, of course, it is not a gift at all and arrives with a cost in excess of what one may be willing to pay …A tale from the Odds ‘n’ Endings Boutique.

Welcome to another installment of Bus Driver! When we last rode with the bus driver and his passengers, we were having ourselves a merry time in the basement dining room at the Calico Trading Outpost, and someone asked Ol’ Grizzy to tell one of her tales. You can catch up with Part XXIII here. What does Griselda’s tale entail? Let’s find out →

Background is burst of alternating reddish-orange and tan ray coming out from the center of the image. Over this is the Mad Alex emblem, over which is placed the silhouette of a charter bus in a burnt orange. The text "Bus Driver" is boldly displayed to the right.
