DEMONS FOR THE PEOPLE

A new volume from American Eldritch Press: Spirits from the Aether is a grimoire of 72 angels, demons, and intercessors, designed by Aladdin Collar through the channels of artificial intelligence (ChatGPT 3.5, Stable Diffusion 1.5).

The text is written as a modern book of conjuration in the Western Esoteric Tradition, right down to the introduction that lies about its own antiquity. The author's goal, however, is to introduce a handful of new supernatural entities for fiction, world-building, game design, etc.

All of the names, images, and descriptions contained in the book are free to use without credit.

A publicly available copy will be uploaded to Archive.org eventually. If you'd like to be considered for free digital copy, send a DM with your email address.

Arkham Community College: Pugilism 101: William Blake and the Fine Art of Laying Hands 

In the second episode of Arkham Community College, we explore the life and crimes of William Blake, in some of his own words, and a whole bunch of mine. 

Subjects of discussion include the Gordon Riots, that one poem about the Tyger, some illuminated prophecies, the X-Men, and advice on how to remove impertinent Dragoons from one's garden.
