Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

The first of five audiobooks read by Louise Jameson featuring Paul Magrs’ Iris Wildthyme and friends is out now.

Fellowship of Ink is written by Magrs and narrated by Jameson. Set in the mysterious Darkholmes, it follows the literary group, the Smudgelings, as they read and discuss dark and magical stories set in worlds beyond their own – but the fabric of space and time is wearing thin…

This is the first release of the Iris Wildthyme & Friends collection, comprising five audiobooks all set in the worlds of Iris Wildthyme and due to be released across May and October 2021. These are adaptations of original novels by writer Paul Magrs published between 2011 and 2017.

It’s the 1930s, and in the medieval university town of Darkholmes, Professor Cleavis and his literary friends, the Smudgelings, are conjuring up monsters from other dimensions through their work. Witches, demons and gargoyles are mixing with the dons and their frustrated wives – and a mysterious and unusual housemaid called Brenda… 

Narrator Louise Jameson said: “The Fellowship of Ink is a mixture of fusty University life, quirky friendships and fantastically imagined other worlds. So full of twists and turns!”
