Hey everyone! I know things have been a bit quiet around here lately--I'd go into why, but there's more reasons than I can count, and frankly you can probably guess at what a few of them are. Suffice to say I am fine, even if the past few months have been quite rough.

But talking about my personal life is not why I made this post; so why have I, you may wonder? Why, it's to talk about how today, finally, after over a year of work, I can present to you the first book of The Devil's Collection, Beware the Festival of Fools, finally purchasable as a standalone story! It was released today on itch.io, located here: https://gerrark.itch.io/the-devils-collection-beware-the-festival-of-fools

If you like my writings, then you're sure to like this. It's literally hundreds of pages of an original Choose-Your-Own-Ending story written by me, and chock full of illustrations by Grant P Adams, Superdeluxejoe, and Artdecade (as well as others!). It also includes tons of original music (by the great Neil Bones), and sounds. It's got it all, and heck, we're not even done with this thing yet! Check it out ASAP, because it's on sale, but only for this weekend.

And if you're still on the fence, unsure if the collection is for you, don't worry, we've got you covered--here's a playable demo, to give you an idea of what awaits you within the collection: https://www.patreon.com/posts/34983046 . Keep in mind however, that the demo is a far cry from the finished product contained on itch.io. There's way, way more content, polish, and everything else in that finished product. The demo is, as you'd guess, just a taste.

So thanks for popping in to check out what's up, dear readers. Stay safe and be well out there, but most importantly, don't forget to read between those lines.
