Details

This ardent recommendation came from a friend outside Melbourne, and it is a delight. A tale that dances gleefully on the line between gothic horror and pulpy fantasy, blending the joyously trashy elements of both.

Set against a backdrop where dark forests echo with secrets and ancient ruins are a playground for the supernatural, our heroes navigate a world riddled with sinister cults and inexplicable phenomena. Armed with unwavering resolve and a sharp blade, they face off against a assortment of foes, both human and otherworldly, driven by dark desires and diabolical plots. As mysteries unravel, each clue leads deeper into darkness, promising an adventure that teeters on the edge of horror and excitement.

The texts that this works derives from is many all perhaps are worth a gander. As described by the author, imagine the characters from the "Witchfinder General" film dropped into a fantastical realm with the grim determination of Solomon Kane, a creation of Robert E. Howard. There's even a dash of the eerie atmosphere akin to "The Hound of the Baskervilles." The setting? It's a delightful jumble of every fantasy cliché, pulp fiction piece, and adventure tale you can imagine.

Pure, unadulterated fun.
