Presently the old man drew back his hood and pointed to the family resemblance in his face, but I only shuddered, because I was sure that the face was merely a devilish waxen mask. The flopping animals were now scratching restlessly at the lichens, and I saw that the old man was nearly as restless himself. When one of the things began to waddle and edge away, he turned quickly to stop it; so that the suddenness of his motion dislodged the waxen mask from what should have been his head. And then, because that nightmare’s position barred me from the stone staircase down which we had come, I flung myself into the oily underground river that bubbled somewhere to the caves of the sea; flung myself into that putrescent juice of earth’s inner horrors before the madness of my screams could bring down upon me all the charnel legions these pest-gulfs might conceal.
– H. P. Lovecraft, “The Festival,” 1925
The first volume of ELDERNET is complete.
It is the first of six volumes, clocking in at 141 pages, divided into five chapters (or zines/issues):
The next update to ELDERNET will be March 17th, 2025. I will spend the time until then trying to improve myself mentally tweaking the script for Volume 2, drawing new pages, posting more info-worldbuilding pages here, and tentatively seeing what options I might have for larger-scale operations in the future.
Thanks for reading.
