Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

Our last new rulebook for Cthulhu Eternal took us way back to the dawn of humanity ... for our next, we are fast forwarding to a near-ish future of space exploration in the Outer Solar System. The Eldritch Horizon core rulebook will be a self-contained game, fully illustrated. Coming in Nov/Dec.

Cover of the upcoming Eldritch Horizon core rulebook. Image shows two figures in space suits walking on an icy planetoid and encountering a weird semi-transparent tentacled horror.

'Star Trek' made its NBC debut on this day in 1966. #StarTrek60

The Edward Ardizzone illustrated cover for Clive King's "Stig of the Dump" showing Stig and the lad who befriends him hanging out in the bushes at the local tip. The kid is now wearing a yellow Starfleet uniform and looks a bit like a young Kirk, while Stig is dressed in a blue Starfleet uniform and is clutching his spear. Stig also has a bowly haircut and Vulcan ears. The title of the book has been changed to "Spock of the Dump".
