2025 Festival of Monsters
Creative Monsters (Cole Lemke & Philip Lindsey) at Atlantis Fantasyworld
Blood on the Clocktower at Game Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz monster artist Cole Lemke signed copies of his graphic novel Savior: The Day the Devil Saved the World at Atlantis Fantasyworld on Saturday, Oct. 18. He was joined by Philip Lindsey, author of Alone in Bad Company, a book filled with zany characters and fun sketches from five Dungeons and Dragons campaigns.

The Festival closed with Blood on the Clocktower at Game Santa Cruz. In this bluffing game, a demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some players have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent.
