Windemere Monsters: The Jesters

Posted on October 16, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

This is one that can get confusing because their name is also used for the career and clothing.  The thing to remember going forward is that the Jesters here are spelled with a capital ‘J’.  Also that I won’t be … Continue reading →

Windemere Monsters: Snake Fiends

Posted on October 14, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

One of the first monsters that appears in Legends of Windemere are the Snake Fiends, which are based off the Naga.  This is a mythological creature, but I wasn’t 100% certain of that when I wrote the story.  The name … Continue reading →

Windemere Monsters: The Trolls

Posted on October 12, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

What would a fantasy world be without trolls to drive terror into the hearts of adventures at least once?  Obviously, you can do this, but I was picking from the classics early on and trolls were top of the list.  … Continue reading →

Windemere Monsters: The Doppelganger

Posted on October 9, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Who really knows how many Doppelgangers have appeared in the Legends of Windemere series?  Not many because revealing several main characters have been copies of the originals for most of the adventure is stupid.  I mean, could you imagine being … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Amalgam (Revisit)

Posted on October 8, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Here’s another monster-based poem.  Sure you’ve figured out the theme.  Nice to revisit some of the old ones again.) It shrieks from the depths Darkest corners of my mind Which I have never cleaned * A beast composed of parts … Continue reading →

Windemere Monsters: The Wyvern

Posted on October 5, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

The Wyvern gets mistaken for a dragon a lot, but it’s not really the same.  No breath weapon and they come in two species.  Both have very powerful rear legs and leathery wings.  One has a barbed tail and no … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: The Pixian Parade

Posted on July 2, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(A fun parade of fae.  I forgot the inspiration of it, but I think it comes from a really old story I used to read as a kid.  It wasn’t pixies though.  Think it was animals.) Deep within the Grimjaw … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: The Phiocrytes

Posted on June 25, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

(Guess I had a lot of fantasy poems in the ‘T’ section.) They live in fear In the jungles of Serdune Thriving on the floor Among the moldy leaves Always with their tall eye Scanning the limbs above   Thousands … Continue reading →

Poetry Day: Night Terrors

Posted on January 23, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

(Probably would have worked better on Halloween.  Still, it’s interesting to have this contrast with the softer and more serene type of eerie as last week.) With gnashing teeth And jagged nails These creatures lurk beneath Feasting on forgotten snails … Continue reading →

The Monstrous Feast

Posted on November 27, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz
