Geoff Gillan's The Machine King

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Mechanical Nightmare Awakens!

Victorian London: Heart of the most industrialised empire the world has ever seen. A heart that pounds to the rhythms of steam hammers,  pistons, and whirring cogs.

Curious reports have begun to circulate London claiming the impossible: industrial and domestic machines have been witnessed acting on their own volition, attacking innocent men and women.

What strange power drives otherwise unremarkable lumps of cold metal to murder? What fuels the odd machine-haunted dreams that nightly plague hundreds of Londoners?

In a world ruled by machines . . . who rules the machines?

This detailed and lavishly illustrated scenario takes Investigators from Gaslit London through to nightmarish realms somewhere beyond sleep, all in search of answers to a bizarre mystery with roots in the distant past. Combining the trademark wit and intelligence of Geoff Gillan (Horror on the Orient Express, Regiment of Dread) with sweeping and imaginative visions of a world where Industrial Era technology has gone mad, this is a scenario like no other.

Originally written in 1995 and believed lost forever, this glorious scenario from the pen of one Call of Cthulhu's most loved writers is at last made available to everyone in a deluxe layout... for free!

Files provided in both a screen-friendly (texture rich) version and a high-contrast printer-friendly version.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
