The Haanta Series venerates the inimitable Gene Wilder

The horrors of the year seem ceaseless. I know death, especially for the old and ailing, is not an evil, but it must be an evil to all the rest of the world, to everyone who will look on at the passing of such an exceptional artist and be ruined by the loss. I must love anybody who can employ the word 'swell' with such easy fluency as Gene Wilder did, and indeed, I did love him, in my own quiet way, extolling his efforts, lauding him as one who remained steadfast in the face of a changing industry, as one who saw his art and passion move in a different circle, and as one who looked at parts and films offered him in this new style and said, "Good day, sir." When asked why he had remained out of films for the better part of the last twenty years, he replied that so few films these days have any artistic merit, and that he should have valued merit over money is a quality which shows his higher character: he would rather write, he said, than act, if there was nothing ou

Story for the Day: A Cleric's Work is Never Done

The new novella for August is available to all our patrons on Patreon . The story is primarily about Bryeison and his reckless cern, but it also details the plight of Cneighsea, the Royal Cleric, who is forever mending broken bones and forever trying to get Bryeison in for his mandatory monthly examination without any success. Pledge on Patreon HERE to get the complete novella. A crack resounded through the yard, a gurgling shriek followed, and moans of agony welcomed Bryeison and Draeden to the infirmary.

Image
The story of Bryeison and the wanton cern who foolishly challenged his authority will be the next novella put out by the Frewyn Herald for our patrons on Patreon. Pledge HERE to receive the digital novella at the end of the month, and enjoy the small excerpt below. Poor Saunters the Cern. He has no idea what he's done. Our new publishing label. Logo by the great and chewy Twisk. B ryeison neared, salutes were sharply cast off, stances straightened and eye gawped absently at the far wall, giving neither the cern nor their commander direct attention. An ominous sensation succeeded, the rote of panicked reparations and rising pulses drowned out the cern and his speech, and as the cern was ending his great performance with flailing arms and righteous indignation, calling out, “We should demand that a superior officer be brought in to oversee training exercises, if that overgrown landmass of a commander is going to have us cleaning all day!”, every other heart seized.
