What to do when Alone in the Dark
“What to do when Alone in the Dark” functions as an encyclopedia for children that are drawn to the uncanny, disturbing and undoubtedly frightful. Instead of your run-of-the-mill-storybook, it acts as a guide that interacts with childish fears on eye level, giving real advice on how to kick your fears in the teeth. Following the off-putting, yet undeniable legacy of “Scary Stories to tell in the Dark”, this book boasts with:
- Hand-drawn illustrations of classic folklore monsters
- A comprehensive stat system, quantifying each creatures strengths and weaknesses
- A final page inviting the reader to embrace their own monstrous side
Since my earliest memories, I was the type to be utterly fascinated with all things strange, scaly, snarling, writhing, wriggling, haunting, horned, moldy, magic, fire/acid/blood or water-breathing. With “What to do when Alone in the Dark” I wanted to fill a void in my heart that has existed since then, to create a comprehensive, illustrated, interactive encyclopedia of monsters.
When I'm not busy trying to come up with other books that may or may not be deeply disturbing to children and adults, I enjoy early 2010s web-media, eating the pages out of my favorite comic books and generally being up to no good.
