The Stargazer's Sister


Book Description

From the acclaimed author of The Last First Day, here is a beautiful new period novel: a nineteenth-century story of female empowerment before its time, based on the life of Caroline Herschel, sister of the great composer and astronomer William Herschel and an astronomer in her own right. This exquisitely imagined novel opens as William rescues Caroline from a life of drudgery in Germany and brings her to England and a world of music making and stargazing. Lina, as Caroline is known, serves as William’s assistant and the captain of his exhilaratingly busy household. William is generous, wise, and charismatic, an obsessive genius whom Lina adores and serves with the fervency of a beloved wife. When William suddenly announces that he will be married, Lina watches her world collapse. With her characteristically elegant prose, Carrie Brown creates from history a compelling story that interweaves familial collaboration and conflict with a haunting exploration of the sublime beauty of astronomy and our small but essential place within a vast and astonishing cosmos. Through Lina’s trials and successes we witness the dawning of an early feminist consciousness—a woman struggling to find her own place among the stars.

Adventure Anthology Fire


Book Description

This volume collects the four adventures previously released as Tower of the Stargazer, Th e God that Crawls, The Monolith from Beyond Space and Time, and The Doom-Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children: * Tower of the Stargazer presents a familiar traditional fantasy adventure location, the wizards tower, and adds cosmic horror to infuse the familiar with something strange. * The God that Crawls involves the mystery of what exactly lies in the catacombs beneath an ancient church. How far will the curiosity of your players take their characters before it is too late?* The Monolith from beyond Space and Time is the deep end of the Weird Horror pool, pure cosmicism and the most intense and pure concentration of Weird in the entire Lamentations of the Flame Princess catalog.* The Doom-Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children is a bit of a farce, with an absurd premise that invites characters into a reality-bending environment where they will have much opportunity to make some very bad decisions. Includes new artwork! For use with Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Role-Playing and other traditional tabletop role-playing games. Made in Finland.

Maze of the Blue Medusa is art. Maze of the Blue Medusa works with your favorite fantasy tabletop RPGs. And Maze of the Blue Medusa is the madly innovative game book from the award-winning Zak Sabbath of A Red & Pleasant Land and Patrick Stuart of Deep Carbon Observatory. Lethal gardens, soul-rending art galleries, infernal machines--Maze of the Blue Medusa reads like the poetic nightmare of civilizations rotted to time, and plays like a puzzle-box built from risk and weird spectacle.Praise for Zak Sabbath:"Zak is not just imaginative, he's bold. Which means that while he recognizes the value of fantasy traditions, he doesn't hesitate for a moment to throw out anything that's become tired or dull."-- Monte Cook, author of NumeneraPraise for Patrick Stuart's Fire on the Velvet Horizon:"Superpositioning with strange panache, Velvet Horizon is an (outstanding) indie role-playing-game supplement, and an (outstanding) example of experimental quasi-/meta-/sur-/kata-fiction. Also a work of art. Easily one of my standout books of 2015."-- China Miéville, author of Perdido Street Station
