Of the knight and the saint 🗡️

I love Between Two Fires and I'm gonna be incredibly annoying about it for a while until EVERYONE has read it.

Idk how procreate works, so please bear with me.

Here’s BETWEEN TWO FIRES by Christopher Buehlman, a mix between dark souls game and the last of us or somethin.

And here’s no context memes with my favorite monster in the book

Read the darn book

père matthieu should have been at the club. thomas should have been at his house (napping). delphine should have been lookin for worms at the creek

Since my last horror recs post did so well, I thought I’d celebrate October’s beginning with another.

This time, we get a little sacrilegious. You know, for fun.

Between Two Fires was a pleasure to read. my heart is broken but also full!!! if u like biblical horror + found family trope trying to get thru it all and facing themselves during the plague ridden hellhole this one is for you

this is just my quick take on what the charas look like from text and own intrep.

My most ambitious bookbinding project to date, a gift for author Christopher Buehlman for his incredible book Between Two Fires.

More info and process below the cut!

Since the book is set during the 14th century, I really wanted to do a typeset that included semi-contemporary art as accents. Before even printing the book there was a lot of work to do in the typeset process, including researching the artwork for chapter pages and dropcaps, as well as the title page image, all taken from woodcuts from the 15th-16th century (most of them are from Hans Holbein the Younger). It's not quite the same time period as the story, but I liked the more austere look of old woodcuts to illuminated art from the 1300s.

After typesetting and formatting, it was time to print, fold, and sew!

Then trimming the sawtooth edges with a chisel...

...and gilding the edges, weaving faux double-core endbands, and painting a hidden fore-edge image that reveals itself only when the book is flexed. These were all Firsts for me, and while they are far from perfectly executed, I'm obsessed. Every book is getting gilded edges and fore-edge paintings now.

I really wanted this book to have a leather cover, both because I've been eager to try my first true leather case, and because it felt so fitting for the rough, Medieval vibes of the book itself. Unfortunately, I got influenced by my local leather supplier, who convinced me that dying my own leather was the way to go...

...and she was right 🙈 I love how much control over the color and texture of the finished leather I have this way, and I will definitely be using up this veg-tanned hide that I purchased for future projects.

The symbol on the front (matched on the back) is my own design, and meant to evoke a comet. The detail of the protagonist Thomás witnessing a comet in the sky, and thus standing between the fires of the heavens and earth, was one I wanted to emphasize for the title.

I'm so thoroughly proud of the finished project, hiccups and all, and I'm so eager to make more leatherbound books now. Thank you so much to Christopher Buehlman for his blessing in creating this bind, which is now safely within his possession!

I’ve spent the past several weeks thinking about it constantly

sometimes you read a horror novel set in the medieval era with the found family trope that rewires your brain a little bit and you just have to live with that. like she's his little moon and I have to pretend like that doesn't make me sob. how am I supposed to live in these conditions.

Between Two Fires is my obsession and I urge everyone to go read it PLEASE

Thomas my beloved big, sad man 😫

[rockjulemantis]

I'm reading Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman and the whole time I'm reminded of the game Blasphemous. It really feels like the vibes and the imagery of Blasphemous throughout the entire book.

I'd recommend it but it genuinely has some upsetting and very disturbing things happen within it. Read at your own risk but damn if it isn't good. (Please no spoilers though, I'm still reading it)
