Monsters and a Memorial Day Sale
"The Pantheon Fantastical" and a subscription discount!
Dear Readers,
Last week we officially launched our new premium series, The Pantheon Fantastical, with an entry on the Slickerman, a gooey creature haunting the ocean and chewing through the hulls of certain polluting vessels.
The Pantheon Fantastical is a compendium of all the gods, Uncanny Beings, and general beasties that inhabit the world of the Distant Reaches. Compiled by the legendary Binder-scholar Silvana Rhinebeck — whose disappearance remains an enduring and controversial mystery — it is a vital text for any traveler, mage, or academic.
The Slickerman and its companion entry on the worry monster known as the Dragh are free to read! However, future entries in The Pantheon Fantastical will be available for paid subscribers only.
Stay informed of all the wonders and dangers in the Distant Reaches — upgrade during our Memorial Day sale with a 40% discount to gain access to all future Pantheon Fantastical entries AND our complete story archive! Plus, your support will help the independent writers and artists keep this site running with fresh content every week!
Hurry — this offer expires June 4, 2023.
Speaking of Memorial Day, late last week I joined a WGA Veterans Picket on the NBC Universal picket line. Military veterans and members from a number of guilds and unions showed solidarity with the WGA for a spirited demonstration to demand both fair pay and fair working conditions.
Your support of working writers matters more than ever at a time when the art and craft of writing is under assault. Thank you for your continuing patronage of Distant Reaches, and we’re so excited to keep bringing you the best and most unique fantasy fiction content on the web, today.
Cheers,
Robert
