Scary Stories for a Good Cause. From Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor of the cult magazine Morbid Curiosity comes Tales for the Camp Fire, a new charity anthology of short stories to help support wildfire relief efforts. Through these pages roam werewolves, serial killers, a handful of ghosts, plenty of zombies, Cthulhu cultists, mad scientists, and a pair of conjoined twins. In November 2018, fire broke out on Camp Creek Road and raced through Butte County, California. By the time the fire was extinguished, the town of Paradise had been scoured from the map. Nearly 100 people died. Damage ran to an estimated $16 billion. The disaster has been named the Camp Fire, in memory of its place of origin. The horror writers of Northern California rallied to raise money for the survivors. Tales for the Camp Fire ranges from fairytale to science fiction, from psychological terror to magical realism, from splatterpunk to black humor, all rounded out by a messed-up post-apocalyptic cookbook. All profits from the sale of this anthology will be donated to Camp Fire relief and recovery efforts. "[A] brilliant collection of truly creepy tales by horror's hottest voices! Dark, funny, heartbreaking, and bizarre. Highly recommended!" --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Glimpse Contributors include: Clark Ashton Smith, Loren Rhoads, Erika Mailman, Ross E.

“It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests...”–H.P.

Friends of Foes describes 36 fascinating characters from all over the world of Dragon Warriors, and interconnects them in a weave of plots and history that can be used to underpin any number of adventures. There are corrupt nobles, weird sorcerers, people cursed by the Fae or tormented by the past, merchants and mercenaries, priests and peasants, and even a selection of notable monsters such as Jasper the Gargoyle and the Silver Stag. Consider Baron Darcheaux, haunted by the ghost of his dead son; Father Corbin, the man of faith cursed by the lords of the fairies; Rocelin the Minstrel whose songs will chronicle the adventuring deeds of the player-characters; Thomas and William the brewing brothers whose rivalry is almost as potent as their beer; or Tuanku, the beautiful diplomat from the southern isles who appears to have a rusty nail embedded in the back of her neck. All characters have full game-stats and a selection of adventure-seeds to get them involved in the players' campaign. The book also contains GM notes on creating hirelings with personalities, and an almanac of stats for basic NPCs from bandits and town guards to poachers, pilgrims and primitives. No Dragon Warriors game is complete without Friends or Foes!

One by one, as people begin to disappear, the once quiet town is soon in the grips of a waking nightmare. An unimaginable horror consuming everything before it. Hungry...
