And then, just last week, I stumbled across a reference to it. The illustrious Miskatonic River Press finally closed up shop, and I silently grieved for another Kickstarer destined to never see the light of day. The years rolled by, and Punktown never surfaced. I think Thomas’s dark-future urban setting will make a terrific locale for a rockin’ CoC campaign. if Miskatonic River has to end their illustrious publishing career with one book, I’m pleased it’s this one. They’ve produced some really terrific Call of Cthulhu products, including New Tales of the Miskatonic Valley, Our Ladies of Sorrow, and their Roman-era adventure The Legacy Of Arrius Lurco…. I’m a huge fan of Miskatonic River Press, and it’s great to hear they have something new in the works. It was a Kickstarter-funded Call of Cthulhu setting book based on the setting for Jeffrey Thomas’s dark urban fantasy series Punktown. Many many, oh-so-many years ago, I wrote an excited blog post about the planned final game release from Miskatonic River Press, which was slowly winding up operations.

Between these tales one will encounter a wide and wild variety of the lost souls, both human and other-than-human, that haunt the streets of Punktown. In the opening story, “In His Sights,” shape-shifting war veteran Jeremy Stake (protagonist of Thomas’ novels DEADSTOCK and BLUE WAR) is reminded of the last enemy soldier he killed, every time he looks in the mirror…while the concluding story, “Life Work” (Thomas’ first novella-length Punktown story), follows a young businesswoman with a secret past and a syndicate hit man with no future. Monsters, mutants and maniacs…here, they call them citizens. NINE TALES OF THE DARK CITY KNOWN AS PUNKTOWN New Punktown Stories by Jeffrey Thomas with Front Cover Artwork by Kris Kuksi
