The Book Golem, fearsome minion of evil sorcerers, or faithful companions of a bookish magic wielding superhero? No one really knows for sure. Many believe it is nothing but an urban myth, a local 'ghost' story told by the night watchmen at the library and the museums to scare the new guys. But the night watchmen know better: They know that sometimes things really do go bump in the night!

This rather unique and wonderful mini is from Black Cat Bases, a curious model company who do an eclectic range of minis. This one is from their range of Call of Cthulu inspired models called "The Lost and the Strange", But I thought it made an excellent minion for some super-mage.
