Hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since I put Sax Rohmer’s Moris Klaw stories online. The Occult Detective subgenre was already getting crowded when Rohmer put his spin on it 100 years ago (but then, blogging was already getting crowded out by social media when I finished this project in 2016).

A story- and atmosphere-heavy spellcasting RPG, heavily based on Ural mountain folklore.
Some of the monster elements are a bit conventional so far, but on the whole another horror triumph limited series from Mike Flanagan.
