It’s another debut writer for Fighting Fantasy.

Bonus Episode - What Lies Beneath The Clock Tower
This bonus episode we’re doing something a little different with Margaret Killjoy’s interactive novel What Lies Beneath the Clock Tower, a steampunk infused tale of underground kingdoms, goblins, gnomes, and bloody revolution. It’s a chance to see the breadth of stories you can tell using adventure gamebooks and a welcome chance to talk about anarchist politics and the problems of violence which is pretty cool for a fun book about a hapless drunk.
