 Legion of Everblight Blighted Swordsmen Box Hordes $29.99 Warmachine is a fast-paced 30mm scale tabletop miniatures game of metal-on-metal combat, where players take on the role of elite soldier-sorcerers known as Warcasters who harbor the ability to magically control and coordinate mighty warjacks - massive steam-powered combat automatons that represent the military might of the Iron Kingdoms world.  Emmanuel Appadocca, Or, Blighted Life: A Tale of the Buccaneers $24.95 I recommend reading the forewords before starting the story. I started this book with some skepticism because I don't usually read adventure stories so I was surprised when it was so hard to tear myself away from it each night. I found the very start slow and the very end a bit incredulous (well, it's a pirate story after all!) but the other 98% of the story was riveting. I found the foreword important because it helps to understand the author's frame of mind.  Black Hill: Midnight at the Blighted Star $19.98 Black Hill is the third release from the UK's finest exponents of "melancholic experimentalism" As well as the core membership of founder Michael Begg and his main collaborator Deryk Thomas, this release features well-poised contributions from Begg's special guests; Julia Kent (Antony & the Johnsons, Blind Cave Salamander) Fabrizio Palumbo (Larsen, Blind Cave Salamander) David Tibet (current 93) Clodagh Simonds (Fovea Hex, Mellow Candle) Black Hill, although in many ways far gentler than previous HG albums, packs a significant punch. Part nightmare train journey to a bruised and foreboding underworld, part voyage beyond the alluring tails of shooting stars to an aching void of longing, it may prove to be Begg's sullen masterpiece. |
