“Delving Deep, or, The Macabre Misadventures of Misters Scrivener, Bellwether and Guess” arrives today, bringing with it the return of everyone’s favorite mushroom-poppin’ scoundrel, Jonathan Guess. We last saw Guess in #4, which features the memorable painting by Bella Bergholtz of the middle-aged Guess grinding his way through a bad trip. This month’s issue features a portrait created by Todd Sharp of Jonny Guess in his prime.
When we last saw Guess, he had lucked into a job through a case of mistaken identity. While celebrating his windfall, a bad mushroom trip inspired memories of his first encounter with Palm, who had tracked the Devil of Black Water to the home of the “Thief Lord,” Lucius Fortunado. We return now to both of these stories, past and present. What dangers await in the crypt of the wizard Peloquin? Will Palm and Guess be greeted warmly in the home of Vessena’s “Lord of Crime”? The adventure continues now!
The Elect Stories, #9: “Delving Deep, or, The Macabre Misadventures of Misters Scrivener, Bellwether and Guess” is now available exclusively on Amazon – $0.99 Kindle, $4 paperback.
