Candle Game:? Phantasmagorical: Being a Miscellany of Curious, Ghastly, and Phantasmic Tales from the Era of the Reign of Her Royal Majesty, Queen ... (Tm) the Game of Weird and Ghostly Stories)

A GOLDEN AGE...OF DARKNESS More than any other period, the Victorian era is known best by the dark tales of horror, mystery, and the supernatural that were defined-and many would argue perfected-at the time. It was the age of Gothic horror, delivered on yellowing newsprint to readers hungry for the dark foreboding and ghastly details in the stories of fiends, vampires, monsters, and ghosts found in the innumerable "penny dreadfuls" published in the day. Candle Game(TM) Phantasmagorical contains complete rules for play and features tales of horror and dread from some of the greatest writers of the Victorian era, including the disquieting classics "The Monkey's Paw" and "The Yellow Wall-Paper" as well as masterworks from Rudyard Kipling, Ambrose Bierce, and Saki. Included as part of the game, these spooky tales can also be read on their own. But for best effect, delve into them as the Victorians did: alone, by flickering lamplight, in a quiet, empty, old house where even the slightest sound may be something unknown awaiting you in the dark...
