Lytherus has been teased around Shur’tugal for ages now. What exactly is Lytherus? Lytherus is our upcoming fantasy, science fiction, and horror blog and news resource. Our goal is to regularly cover all news, reviews, and information in our favorite genres over a variety of content types, including books, movies, TV, video games, anime/manga, comics/graphic novels, web content, live events, and more. We’ve already assembled a group of fans, consumers, authors, and industry insiders to lead our team of passionate fantasy/scifi/horror fans for Lytherus and are now in search of a few more members to round off our launch team. If you think you’re interested in contributing to an up-and-coming fantasy/scifi/horror blog and news resource and are passionate about media in those genres, keep reading for a list of requirements and job perks.
First off, what’s Lytherus?!
Lytherus is the result of a group of bloggers immensely passionate about fantasy, science fiction, and horror. We are geeks and consumers from all walks of life who enjoy reading, reviewing, discussing, and theorizing. Books? We read ‘em. Video games? Hardcore gamers. Movies? Been watching since we were born! Zombies? RUN!
Lytherus aims to provide news, reviews, editorials, and guest posts ranging from the known to the bizarre. Our dedicated staff of fans, consumers, industry insiders, and geeks will dissect anything that appeals to us and our visitors. We will be covering many media types, including books, movies, TV, video games, anime/manga, comics/graphic novels, web content, live events, and more.
