letters from my friend the strangler

Prices Slasher

Hey, did you hear? It's almost been a year since the last chapter of the Killer games. And so universal misery has been abolished, just now. "Phew".

In case you're still nostalgic for it, ANTHOLOGY OF THE KILLER, the hit multimedia crime game, is now 20% off for the next week on both Itch.io and Steam.

I also have some older games discounted the same amount on itch.io. There are also some AOTK steam keys still floating around over there so if you grab it on itch you'll likely get a free steam key as well. But I can't decide these things for you. Only god (Sid Meier) can judge....

Peace to all in this season of fear.

Talking About Some Horror Comics

(Image: Richard Sala, "The Bloody Cardinal")

On Cohost a while back i wrote a little bit about comicbook inspirations for Anthology Of The Killer - I might repost it when that site goes down at the end of the year, but until then you can read it here: https://cohost.org/thecatamites/post/7154072-i-wanted-to-write-so

For part two I wanted to talk more about horror comics in particular.

one last piece of halloween fanart for the year - this time for JUDEX, the Georges Franju adaptation of the Feuillade serial. check it out if you get a chance and like bird costumes.

thanx to everyone who followed along and as ever you can get ANTHOLOGY OF THE KILLER on either itch.io or steam!!

haven't had time to work on too many of these but here's more halloween fanart. this time it's Marcie and Bosso as Winslow and Swan from Phantom Of The Paradise, with a cameo from Ray as BEEF.

if you like weird music-themed comedy-horror you can get the games these are from HERE.. heh heh heh...

unused scenes from "Ears Of The Killer". is now the time to reveal one of Mr President's main inspirations was Dr Dugong from The Venture Bros.

originally Heart Of The Killer was going to be a direct sequel, with BB in a fever in bed watching daytime tv as she got bird-related food poisoning out of her system.

Anthology Of The Killer now out on Steam!!

(weekend boost!!)

$6.99 for nine serial cartoon narrative games. Explore as BB as she makes zines about a hometown whose sole economic products seem to be rubber masks and themed serial murder.

since it's the lead up to halloween i figured i would continue the now annual tribute picture tradition. here's BB as Fiona and Clarice as Daniella from ps2 classic Haunting Ground. BB is having trouble doing puzzles with the dog. i will do some more if i have time.

also posted are some from previous years that i don't think i ever put on tumblr.

ANTHOLOGY OF THE KILLER - OUT NOW ON STEAM

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3212530/Anthology_Of_The_Killer/

It's true, the world's foremost attempted murder victim simulator is now out on Steam, for your convenience. Have a good time being chased around this Halloween season.

If you bought it on Itch you should be able to claim a key from your library there (if you don't see it you may have been flagged by itch's mysterious "fraud detection system" and may have to wait a few days).

If you've enjoyed the game (terrifying consumer toady voice) consider leaving a little user review on Steam, but either way, please have fun playing the videogames.

PEACE, Stephen

1 week until the steam release :^) let's all get murdered together :^) let's make this season the "October of Death" :^) you can wish for it, if you want it in your heart…!

1 week!!

The page for Anthology Of The Killer is now live, game itself releases there Oct 8th! Just in time for halloween related gaming happenings. I'll post an update when it goes live but you can also wishlist or whatever to get an email. I'll also be making keys available to people who've bought it already on other sites.

newsy news

greetings all, in light of the cohost news i figure it's probably a good time to go back to maintaining a mailing list. i had one before on tinyletter but THAT went under... anyway, i won't go ham on updates but figure it'd be a good resource for anyone who wants to stay up to speed on future game releases etc, esp ones i might not be putting on my itch main yet. will send the first one in a few days w some of the inkbrush drawings i've been doing as a test. TAke a look yall: https://www.freelists.org/list/harmonycorp
