Hi everybody! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and what not.

Today I wanted to talk about fake books, since this chapter is all about the Black Faun trying to obtain the imaginary Tome of Ohrmazd.

I found this great article about fake books here. But left off the list is one of the most famous fake books of all time, the Necronomicon!

My Tome of Ohrmazd gets it’s name from the central figure in Zoroastrianism, sometimes known as Aramazd, or Ahura Mazda. Zoroastrianism dates back to the early 2nd millennium BCE.

Another thing I started thinking about around the time I was drawing these episodes was the expansion of electricity in America in the 1930’s. Since It took place at night and I was drawing lights I guess. I found this interesting article on electricity in rural areas and how they lived. It includes some interviews with some great grizzled old guys.
