Chilling Tales (1995) is a bit unusual in that it is an anthology of short adventures for Ravenloft. I think there’s only one other of these in the line, the Book of Crypts. I like the idea of Scott Burdick’s cover but the execution is a bit murky for my tastes. For a cover. I think it’s a perfectly fine, moody piece in general. Mark Nelson does the interior illustrations. I’m a big fan of the white pencil and he does pretty great undead.

So, weird thing: the back cover insists there are seven adventures in the book, but I count eight. Fun thing: each of the eight is tied to one of the Van Richten’s guides, so you get adventures featuring the vistani, a vampire, a lich, a ghost, golems, a greater mummy, some werecritters and some fiends. See? Eight. I just recounted. Definitely eight.

Another neat thing is that Van Richten himself features in all the scenarios, at various levels of his career (they’re meant to be interspersed through an ongoing campaign, so Rudolph and the players generally meet at the same level). It’s nice for the PCs to have an occasional ally in Ravenloft and it is cool to see Rudolph develop over time.

The adventures are all written by Lisa Smedmen, so they feel consistent. They are short enough that none of them really wear out their welcome, but that cuts two ways because they also wind up feeling a bit ephemeral. I like the ghost-focused one best, because it is investigative. The lycanthropes one has good stalking horse twist. The mummy one is fun because mummy adventures are always a hoot on some level. The fiends one is surprisingly good, too, despite the fairly mortifying suggestion of using make-up and a cloak to set-up the big reveal. I’d rather die.

I'm featured on BookTube!

So excited to announce that I’m featured on not one but TWO YouTube channels this month.

First off, THE CROWS got a shout out from Mers (Harpies in the Trees), where the synopsis was voted as the Patrons’ Pick (https://www.patreon.com/harpiesinthetrees). So glad to be featured in Episode 4 of Mers’ channel, where 3 other indie books get a shout out too!

The second one is Mick Dark’s performance of my short story, THE SOUND OF DARKNESS, which you can buy as part of the F IS FOR FEAR anthology by Red Cape Publishing, or on its own! Mick’s performance is really fun and I love the art and soundtrack.

Story Prompt 47

In a dimly lit alley, obscured by the shadows of towering buildings, two figures stood locked in a tense confrontation. The air crackled with palpable hostility as they exchanged heated words, their voices carrying the weight of unresolved grievances.

"You think you can just walk away from this? You owe me, and you damn well know it!" spat one, his voice thick with anger.

The other, his features twisted in defiance, retorted, "I owe you nothing! You brought this upon yourself, and now you'll face the consequences."

With a sudden lunge, the first figure lunged forward, brandishing a gleaming knife in hand. The glint of steel reflected in his eyes as he made his intentions clear. In a swift and brutal motion, he began to rain down blows upon the other figure, the sound of flesh meeting steel echoing through the desolate alley.

"Stop! Please, stop!" cried the second figure, desperation tainting their voice as they attempted to fend off the relentless assault.

But the first figure was unrelenting, driven by a fervor that bordered on madness. Each stab was delivered with a savage intensity, fueled by a potent mixture of rage and vengeance.

"Too late for begging now," snarled the attacker, his voice cold and devoid of remorse. "You brought this upon yourself."

As the violence reached its crescendo, the alley was consumed by an eerie silence, broken only by the labored breaths of the wounded figure. In the dim light, the assailant's face contorted with a mixture of triumph and malice, his hands stained crimson with the evidence of his brutality.

And as the echoes of their confrontation faded into the night, a chilling realization dawned upon the wounded figure – in this unforgiving world, survival often came at a steep price, and sometimes, that price was paid in blood.

Unraveling the Eldritch Enigma: The Dunwich Horror by H.P. Lovecraft.

In the cryptic realm of cosmic horror, few names resonate as profoundly as H.P. Lovecraft, and among his chilling tales, “The Dunwich Horror” stands as an exemplar of otherworldly terror. Lovecraft’s narrative ingenuity, coupled with his ability to evoke an atmosphere of dread, transforms this tale into a cornerstone of the Cthulhu Mythos. Published in the pages of “Weird Tales” in 1929, “The…
