Welcome to the 19th issue of the Backstage Pass, Volume II! We have some grand surprises in store for you. First up, the vampires make a startling discover in A Vampire’s Vengeance. If you’ve been keeping up, you definitely don’t want to miss then. Follow this up with the latest from House, where our Mr. Garcia makes a startling discovery of his own, though one that’s less “Wow!” and more like “Oh fuck.” His sanity, at this point, might be questionable. Our classic horror selection brings us to a vengeance on the high seas due to the arrogance of a single man. And finally, we come rumbling through the Trading Outpost with Bus Driver. Let’s get into it →

This week was spent in more infrastructure! We’re sure you’re getting tired of reading that word in this section. Believe me when I say this: so are we. Groundskeeper awaits publishing, as does Unholy Requiem, and Body Count awaits completion. And then of course there’s Rise of the Warlock Queen. So much is waiting in the wings, and here we are plugging away at serials and software. We hope to have much more to share with you as to the completion of attractions, but for now, please enjoy the rest of your time backstage and do visit the ongoing attractions we have prepared for you here, below 👇.

Voodoo, you say? You don’t say! Well, we don’t dive into the practice itself in this classic horror story, but we do see it at work, per one author’s perception of it, anyway:

What about cinema? So many stories, but what about the visuals? What about the visuals indeed. It appears we may have to wait another week before Calamity on Cinema returns. A shame, that.

The silhouette of a cowboy on a horse is superimposed over a background depicting an old farmhouse in a desert brush landscape. The author's name, 'Mad Alex,' is display over the title, 'Showdown at Sunrise,' at the top center of the design. At the bottom, the words 'A Tale From the Odds n Endings Boutique' are placed over the Mad Alex emblem.
