To rid the house of juvenile crows, the girl must consult a mildewed folio, which contains an account of the fate of the original owner of the house.

Lots going on behind the scenes, including the continued adaptation of ill fame for print. These two pages had some major revisions needed. You can follow along on the Patreon

Look at this amazing Ilworld fanart by Layla the creator of Ill Fame! I won the Ill Fame contest and this is my prize. I can't believe she included so many characters from my comic. It must have been so much work searching for all the references in the comic. I'm going to cry. Thank you 💜🥹💜

Long afterwards, just when she thinks she is finally free, the girl will for a moment imagine herself back again, in a house that is ravenous.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

My heart is heavy knowing that Tim Curry has passed away. He had such an amazing presence. I really want to make a Tim Curry illustration. Sadly this week I'm so busy with work. Here is an illustration I made a few years ago with the Ilworld crew dressed as RHPS characters. Don't dream it. Be it. 🖤

If the girl and the oldest ghost can just rid the house of wealthy guests, then at least one of them might live.

A close up and a full view. Made using only three colours: ultramarine, red iron oxide, and unbleached titanium. The first two colours are semi-opaque, which gave the effect of painting with watercolours at times, which I enjoyed a lot
