My goal is to make the final published text as affordable as possible so that teenage Setians don't have to blow all their lunch money on this shit like I did back in the day. This will likely mean prioritizing electronic publication over print, but we will see what I can get done.

While I intend to provide a fair analysis of LHP ideologies and give credit where it is due, the focus will be firmly on devotional polytheist practice.

This work will directly challenge the Western Left-Hand Path (LHP) bias that is often found in most current Setian literature, focusing on actual veneration of Set and drawing from His strength to uphold Ma'at.

The Hamadruid first appeared in a short story I wrote called "The Green Cathedral," which was unfortunately quite terrible and will never see the light of day.

Interest in Kneale bloomed into a full-blown passion for British folk and sci-fi horror, which is where my ideas about the Fae started to surface.

Pretty much everything to do with Dr. Adam Quantamaker and his nefarious Quantamaker Group—including the Banshee, CROM 9000, the Stonehenge Tape, and the Neverdead—is an homage to Kneale's work.

(Like when hauntings turn out to be caused by geological anomalies in "The Stone Tape," or when "the devil" turns out to have been a race of ancient astronauts in "Quatermass and the Pit.")

In high school, I discovered the work of Nigel Kneale, whose films combine science fiction with folk horror in some very unsettling ways.

Sawyer Wynn is named after the Celtic festival of Samhain. He was originally named "Samuel Hain" before I learned that Samhain is correctly pronounced "SOW-in" in Gaelic.

I actually wrote the Sawyer Wynn story as a screenplay when I was 16; but it was extremely confusing and not very well-written at all. I'm much happier with the story as it exists now in "Summer's End IV."

Somehow, I blended this together with reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and trying to write a different kind of "slasher" story. This became the saga of Sawyer Wynn and the Neverdead.
