In the cavern-like darkness of the arcade, the neon phosphor-glow of the screen beckons you close. Drawn to the dancing pixels like a moth to a flame, digging deep in your pocket you pull out a shiny coin and thumb it into the slot as the electronic siren sings the fanfare that marks your arrival. One hand on the joystick, the other splayed across the control buttons, your pulse begins to quicken.

There's always another coin, an extra life to be earned, a second chance...Isn't there?GAME OVERA dozen stories of creeping dread and savage horror inspired by the humble amusement arcade and the classic coin-ops of yesteryear. Twelve tales to chill your blood by twelve masters of the malevolent and the macabre.Just keep reminding yourself, it's only a game...Isn't it?

Vain hullu astuisi vapaaehtoisesti Lupraviaan, nälkäisten saalistajien kolkkoon valtakuntaan. Sinne olet kuitenkin matkalla, koska vaihtoehtoja ei ole. Olet joutunut jättimäisen suden raivon kohteeksi ja nyt tunnet vieraiden voimien kasvavan sisälläsi. Ihmissuden kirous tekee sinusta pedon petojen joukkoon, ellet löydä parannusta ennen seuraavan täydenkuun aikaa. Onnistutko pelastamaan itsesi pimeyden hallitsemassa maassa, jossa kaikki vapisevat kuullessaan ihmissuden hyytävän ulvonnan? Tässä kirjassa SINÄ olet sankari. Tarvitset vain kynän ja kumin - ja olet valmis seikkailuun. Sinä päätät, mitä reittiä kuljet, mitä esineitä poimit mukaasi, mitä olentoja vastaan taistelet ja millaisiin kuolemanvaarallisiin koetuksiin ryhdyt. Pelillistetty, interaktiivinen kirja tempaa mukaansa nekin, jotka eivät muuten ole kiinnostuneita lukemisesta. Kirjassa riittää vaihtoehtoisia tarinalinjoja useampaankin pelikertaan. Vaikka Fighting Fantasy -kirjat sijoittuvat samaan maailmaan, jokainen niistä on itsenäinen seikkailunsa. Pelaaminen ei edellytä merkintöjen tekemistä kirjaan. Fighting Fantasy -kirjasarja on maailmanlaajuinen menestys. Miljoonia kappaleita myyneen sarjan kirjoja on käännetty yli 30 kielelle. Kirjan upea kuvitus on maailmankuulun taiteilijan Martin McKennan käsialaa.
