Forthcoming
Dim All The Lights and its companion, the Bracknell Horror series, are the first in a planned sequence of follow-ups to the Ennie-nominated queer pulp mystery game Moonlight on Roseville Beach. Continuing the aesthetic theme set by its predecessor, all art in these books have been repurposed from the public domain: the cover for Dim All The Lights is one of my prouder creations, as it is made up of three different illustrations from three different artists from two different centuries.
I took a seperate approach with the Bracknell Horror series of zines, this time inspired not by pulp paperbacks but by the pulp sci-fi magazines of the same period. As the budget was slim, I re-used the cover i had designed for Dim All The Lights for the Characters and Entities zines, close-up and with a duotone touch to give each issue a unique, vibrant color. The interior is carried by the twin might of ITC Avant Garde and ITC American Typewriter, fonts that I can only describe as “two great tastes that taste great together.” Black-and-white illustrations, many from Weird Tales, provide setting-appropriate flavor to the books.
While Dim All The Lights is still in production, you can follow its crowdfunding campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/r-rook/dim-all-the-lights to be informed of its launch and eventual, overwhelming success.
