Get the Gothic Dispatch newsletter

If, like me, you’ve become quite accustomed to ill tidings, you might as well add the Gothic Dispatch newsletter to your inbox. Once you’ve signed up using the form below and confirmed your subscription, the Gothic Dispatch will find you no matter where you go.

Your email will only ever be used to send you dispatches – it’ll never be used for anything else, nefarious or otherwise. More on that here. And if you ever feel like the newsletter has outstayed its welcome, you’ll find an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email.

What can I expect from the Gothic Dispatch newsletter?

The Gothic Dispatch collects those dispatches you may have missed since the last edition. It also matches one recent dispatch with something unexpected – either from the depths of the archives or elsewhere on the web. Like most matches, this one will have been made strictly to consolidate power, meaning it was probably doomed from the start.

How often will I receive it?

To spare you from madness, the Gothic Dispatch newsletter will arrive in your inbox but once every quarter. This means that you’ll be able to enjoy a comprehensive roundup of recent dispatches while I hope to keep my distance and avoid letting slip my identity, location or intentions.
