“The bulk of the volume covers Tolkien’s harrowing years as a soldier in the Great War, during which he wrote poetry in letters to his close circle of school friends, his mind more often straying to elves than thoughts of training or battle strategy. A series of encounters presage the author’s later literary inventions—a strict professor poo-pooing Tolkien’s interpretation of Macbeth hints at the Ents; a tank reminds him of a dragon. Most revealing are the ways in which loss, including a close fellowship torn apart by the war, sharpen Tolkien’s sense of mortality. The art has a clean and classic look, with visual elements of light and darkness neatly paralleling the story arc. Though diehard Tolkien fans might wish for a more thorough treatment, this still satisfies.” —Publishers Weekly

REGISTER NOW to hear CHERIE PRIEST discuss her upcoming southern horror novel CINDERWICH from !

WHO PUT ELLEN IN THE BUBBLE GUM TREE?

Kate Thrush and her former college professor, Dr. Judith Kane, travel to Cinderwich, Tennessee in hopes that maybe it was their Ellen: Katie’s lost aunt, Judith’s long-gone lover. But they’re not the only ones to have come here looking for closure. The people of Cinderwich, a town hardly more than a skeleton itself, are staunchly resistant to the outsiders’ questions about Ellen and her killer. And the further the two women dig, the more rot they unearth … the closer they come to exhuming the evil that lies, hungering, at the roots of Cinderwich.

Reposted • Available now: Pathfinder Dark Archive Pocket Edition

The pocket edition presents the same contents as the standard edition in a smaller sized softcover for a lower price and better portability.

From the fringes, the unknown beckons. Pathfinder Dark Archive contains secrets that any player or GM can use to reveal the paranormal lurking in their Pathfinder games! This spine-tinglingly secretive 224-page hardcover rulebook presents two new character classes perfect for delving into the unexplained: Unleash the untold power of your mind as the psychic or leverage supernatural secrets and mystic implements as the thaumaturge!

Beyond these new classes, eight secret case files each provide player options, GM tools, and lore into a different paranormal topic, including:

Strange cryptids glimpsed in the night, gear to track them, and the powers you might gain by surviving an encounter with one

Cults and esoteric belief, with apocryphal divine magic and the secret of becoming a living vessel for an eldritch being

Temporal anomalies, with archetypes that skim along the surface of time and a new mystery for oracles unbound from causality

Each file concludes with a short adventure to immerse players in the paranormal, spanning across Golarion—play all eight to uncover the inexplicable phenomena of the Age of Lost Omens!
