Presented by Josef Matulich

A selection from The Silk Empress with possible preview of the new Dale Daring penny dreadfuls.


Josef Matulich is an author, special effects artist and costumer. His Arcanum Faire trilogy, a horror/comedy of sex, magick, and power tools, was published by Cincinnati’s Post Mortem Press. The final novel “The Ren Faire at the End of the World” was released in late 2017. His novel “Squirrel Apocalypse” was released by Hydra Publications in late 2019 before assorted other End-of-the-World scenarios began to play out in real life. The steampunk misadventure “The Silk Empress” is his latest published work. He is now working on some of the penny dreadfuls which Pig so hungrily devoured.
