Excerpts from "A Very Spectrum Christmas" by Thomas A. Christie (Part 3). In this section: "The White Door" by Tartan Software (1987). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

Devils Reap by Barrel Dawg

Devils Reap by Barrel DawgA Dark Country/Blues song about the Grim Reaper collecting a person's soul because they once signed a deal with the Devil. According to traditional folklore the pact is between a person and the devil. The person offers their soul in exchange for a specific wish, fame, power, fortune etc. It has a bit of of an old wild west vibe, it's a bit of dark folk & dark country.
