That’s right. We did EXACTLY like Adam, believing we’d “be like a god” once we saw through the more inconvenient truths. A re-read for me from many years ago. We all know the basic story. A small river steamship captain, Charles Marlow, commands a ferryboat up the Congo River (as did the author). Marlow, like many others in the story, has become fascinated with a guy named Kurtz, a mythologized, legendary trader of ivory who lives in the interior and has ‘gone native,’ as the expression goes. Before she became a bestselling author, Scarlett St. Clair was a librarian in Oklahoma City. She was still working full-time when A Touch of Darkness was published in 2019 and when the books went viral.

A child laughs innocently, a bird chirps cheerily, or an old person smiles an incredibly crinkled smile of joy. Hail to the King! Not content with being built around a series of cult classic films, The Evil Dead franchise grew over the years and now consists of movies, comics, games, and a TV Series. And of course ALL Adams, like you and me (and all my negligently disobedient friends!) will see our Edens forever blighted - like our dying planet - or so it will seem to us, since that first Kurtzian day of wrath. The classic way to estimate the extent to which genes underlie a condition or illness is to compare identical and non-identical twins. A twin study conducted in the UK demonstrated that 86% of the spread of people’s eyesight scores could be explained by genetic factors. But as the authors of this study point out, this doesn’t mean we should ignore the effect of the environment.The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return. We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness. Le Guin never lets go of that connection to the low-level stuff, the tiny physical details and emotional shifts that make up so much of our awareness of the world. And that makes the book, in turn, feel brilliantly alive. I think that’s a big part of why this story feels so hopeful and heartfelt, even at its most dismal. No light, but rather darkness visible": in 10 syllables Milton conjures the paradox of Hell. What makes these lines so moving is not just the intellectual sprezzatura (his Inferno is not geographical, like Dante, but metaphysical and impossible), but our knowledge that he was probably already blind when he dictated the line. In his ineffably moving sonnet "On His Blindness", Milton does not talk of his own sightlessness; rather, he turns an inner eye on "this dark world and wide". But it is his final work, Samson Agonistes, which confirms Milton as the poet of insight in sightlessness. As Samson says: "O dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon / Irrecoverably dark, total eclipse". He – Milton or Samson – is not describing blindness here. He is describing depression and alienation and every single thing the existentialists worried about over their absinthes. "The sun to me is dark / And silent as the moon". The world is turned upside down, and the ideas have to be, in response. When the Devil is trounced in Paradise Regained, "Darkness now rose / As daylight sunk, and brought in louring Night / Her shadowy offspring, unsubstantial both, / Privation mere of light and absent day". For the blind Milton, there is no real darkness. 4. Alexander Pope

For a long time Dark Imperium and Plague War were the two main books set in the current 40k timeline. They’re focused on Guilliman’s battles against the forces of his brother Mortarion, and as well as telling great stories they give a lot of information about Guilliman, Cawl the Primaris Marines and the state of the Imperium (and I assume Godblight does the same).
