Hope everyone’s been safe and well. I know this years pretty crazy to say the least, so I’ll start making posts on the website every now and then.
So I know there are many of us who are stuck at home and want to know if there’s anything Dark Crystal related to do to pass the time.
Of course you can listen to over 150 hours of Trial By Stone on podcast apps or support us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/darkcrystalpodcast to listen to exclusive content and more though many may not know that there is a range of books, comics and more to discover more of the world of Thra.
Below is a reading list sourced from The Crystal Shard: A Dark Crystal Fan Group

Of course there are several books that are due to be released later this year though the dates may possible change.
