This week took a surprising turn. The nights become later as the temperature during the day rises, and my sleep schedule borders on insomnia. With little sleep being had, more writing was being done, which resulted in getting ahead on some projects and reviving others. Not every setback can be turned into a win, but this setback certainly was. You can read more about it in Under Construction.

House and A Vampire’s Vengeance take some interesting twists, though one is literal and the other figurative—we’ll leave it up to you to determine which one’s which. Our guest attraction in this edition is a curious bit of psychological horror. And the bus driver is left more than a little confused at the happenings in the dining room in Bus Driver.

Let’s get into it →

Rise of the Warlock Queen has risen once again! In an effort to begin clearing out the backlog of half-baked attractions, I have dusted off Rise of the Warlock Queen, reviewed the attraction, made a smattering of upgrades, migrated it a workable copy, and have shipped it off to those capable of reviewing it further and pointing out all of its flaws. If all goes well, we should have a final copy in a few weeks and either present the attraction in full via our in-house imprint Asylum Books or shop it around. We are as yet undecided on this point. More news will be shared as it arises.

In the meantime, please enjoy our regularly scheduled attractions, as the new installments below offer fun additions to the features here, backstage.

Have you been keeping up with A Vampire’s Vengeance? If so, then you are aware of the strait-laced nature of Edgar. If so, then be prepared to be taken for a ride, because we begin to see how reckless our dear Edgar can be:

Oh Solomon, what is to become of you? You resist tooth and nail against all the elements of a world which you know nothing about, and think you will prevail against all odds. If you only knew the truth of the forces you believe to be set against you. Enjoy the latest installment of House, wherein Solomon continues being Solomon, and we can only watch and hope something clicks in his mind before it’s too late.

If, that is, it is not too late already …

In this edition’s guest attraction, we present to you a rather curious tale of a rather curious individual who has some rather curious issues to contend with:

Book cover for Calypso. The title is spread across the center toward the top, superimposed over the Mad Alex emblem. The background is a splash of dark colors-yellows, blues, greens, and black. The author's name, 'Mad Alex' is centered at the bottom of the design over text printed in playbill flourish that reads 'presents a tale from the Odds n Endings Boutique.

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! In our last installment, violence struck the Trading Outpost, though all in the basement dining area were none the wiser as to what transpired overhead. Their reactions, however, are notable in that each felt some responsibility to the outpost and each other to want to do something about it. They were all, however, already quite drunk. You can catch up on Part XXXI here. How does this all shake out? We all know booze and action are poor companions. Will cooler heads prevail, or will the whole troupe march out into a war zone to be flattened in their inebriated state? 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.
