My review of Conan: Cult of the Obsidian Moon by James Lovegrove just went up at Grimdark Magazine!

This book has a meandering start, but a thunderous conclusion, and a healthy dose of cosmic horror along the way.

@TimmyMac BTW, if you buy more fountain pens (and you will!), there are many good cheap Chinese ones available. I have a JinHao that is a pleasure to write with, despite being like one-fifth of the price of some other pens I own. https://aftermath.site/chinese-fountain-pen-hongdian-jinhao-asvine-delike

Seems kind of backwards that Korn is from California and Slipknot is from Iowa.

@TimmyMac I try to hang around in the kiddy pool and not go too expensive (mostly cheaper Pilot pens), but there’s no real upper limit… At least I’m recommending cheap stuff! ;)

@TimmyMac Refill cartridges are quick and easy if you like the available ink colors. If you want to use fancy inks (I like Pilot’s Iroshizuku ink), a converter is usually necessary. I use both.
