The Peculiar Exploits of Brigadier Ffellowes, a collection of contemporary fantasy stories by Sterling E.

Norm Sherman, head producer of the podcast "The Drabblecast", wrote a mockumentary entitled "In Search of the Brain-Eating Nandi Bear" that follows crypto-zoologist Conner Choadsworth in his trip to Africa in search of the content for his latest research paper. This is the second Conner Choadsworth story that Norm Sherman has written, the first being "In Search of the Mongolian Deathworm."

“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
