## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent horror source and some really cool features
*by D***N on 27 March 2022*

As a complete novice to Ravenloft and the dark domains, I found this sourcebook accessible, highly imaginative and brimming with good ideas for scaring the bejeesus out of my party.I particularly enjoyed the second chapter: on establishing horror settings, the varieties of horror, how to avoid overdone tropes. The guidance on setting expectations with players, so as to avoid wandering into personal phobias and areas of distress or trauma was also great. A good scare means different things to different people after all!The monster options were also very useful! I've already incorporated a carrionette into a plotline involving a body swap with a beloved NPC. Excited to play with the rest.A couple of new subclasses appear too, but only 1 each for bards and warlocks. And I smiled when I recognised one from the current Critical Role campaign.I highly recommend this book for those trying to explore horror in their games or settings for the first time, or who want some intriguing or original setting ideas for contained mini-arcs in their campaign. Or who want to run a one-shot that leaves very few survivors!Also, full disclosure, I saw a lot of adorably angry reviews about how bad and woke this book was that honestly made me want it even more. Upsetting the sort of people that can be seen yelling below is usually a sign of high quality, in my experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great supplement for those who want a bit of spooky stuff.
*by I***L on 1 August 2021*

Love it, as a big fan of ravenloft and Straud I enjoy adding a little scary stuff into campaigns and this is good as a guide for that.It's definitely useful for DM's who are newer to horror style games and has good pointers for picking a genre of horror, it's also good for more experienced DM's as it can be thought provoking within how you use horror elements in your normal games.It does highlight at several points to check with your players that they are comfortable with that kind of content since it's easy to add something they might have issues with, which I think is really cool as it might not occur to some people until you're playing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived in perfect condition,  has enabled me to build my own gothic adventure.
*by J***R on 22 June 2024*

What is not to like. Along with the book of monsters it gave me everything I needed to complete a gothic adventure for my group.
