July 30, 2021Bonus Episode - The Curse of FrankensteinIt’s another bonus episode featuring the work of JH Brennan, author of the Grailquest book we covered in our last bonus episode.

There’s big ideas everywhere in this one but can he manage to stick the landing and maintain an appropriately gothic tone? Find out by listening! Special thanks to a new patron, Saul Alexander.

July 09, 2021Episode 15 - The Rings of KetherWorry abounds as episode 15 takes us into space, the natural home of terrible Fighting Fantasy boos. Worse still, this book is by Andrew Chapman who penned the surreally awful Space Assassin. Is this the book that proves Fighting Fantasy in space can work? The answer is basically yes! But don't just take my word for it, listen to the episde too or I've wasted even more of my life than usual....more0minPlay

April 07, 2021Episode 12 - Space AssassinWe're off to Space! But not to actually assassinate anyone. Brace yourselves because this one gets very strange indeed and pushes your host to the limits of his tolerance for old adventure gamebooks.

Listen to the end for some insights into the somewhat strange origin story of this quirky and unique entry in the Fighting Fantasy canon....more0minPlay
