—And the BBC *still* can't spell "Queen Carmilla" right!
Seiðr@cstross Stephen King-approved, I see.

Michael Ellis@cstross For a moment there, on a small screen, I thought he was going to cameo in the next Spider-verse movie.
Mark T. Tomczak@cstross That's a lot of red!
Genevieve.Cogman@cstross Good old PaleGrace makeup line…
Khleedril@cstross Is this the new Impressionism: if you stare into his eyes you get the impression the rest of the painting is not there?
enantiomerWhen you're King, Anton Sokolov is going to return your call.
Jef Poskanzer@cstross The King in Red
Kyle Brown@cstross ok this one is almost TOOOO easy for you. They couldn’t have made it more Laundry Files ready had they intentionally set out to do so.
Dennis Wilkinson@cstross Choices were made.
Derek Johnston@cstross I immediately thought of the portrait from the 1940s Picture of Dorian Gray, particularly when it suddenly bursts into colour.
Sean@drdjohnston @cstross painted by the great Ivan Albright, the master of seamed and exhausted flesh
n-gons@cstross I get strawberry jam vibes from this.
Darwin Woodka@cstross damn that's horrible
Jakub Kotyza@cstross ooo that's smart. Anything that is not man is dissolving to the background leaving only human as his royal role is losing relevance.
Jonathan Lennox@cstross Charles is King, and everything around him is on fire. Sounds about right.
TonyC@cstross Looks like it could be a cover from a book in the Anno Dracula universe. Either that or Chuck has finally achieved his wish of becoming Camilla's tampon.
NoNotMeNotMeNo@cstross Palantir vision really
Killa Koala@cstross The devil sent his son to Earth in the form of an old king with instructions to "finish the job".
TheOldManBear@cstross love it, he's already fading into... the flocked wallpaper, the meat curtains, the flesh mist of oblivion? good lord
MacBalance@cstross No, not creepy at all…
Can we get the next one with some sad clowns in the background perhaps?
