Gamebook Friday: La Nuit du Loup-Garou

The new edition of La Nuit du Loup-Garou, the French language edition of Howl of the Werewolf, is out now from Gallimard Jeunesse


Here's the translated blurb from the back of the book:

You would have to be crazy to cross the borders of the windswept, fog-shrouded, and soul-haunted principality of Lupravia. And yet, that is what YOU must do. A monstrous wolf has cruelly bitten you and you are now struck by a terrible curse. Fail in this new adventure and the beast that now lies dormant within you will not be able to resist the call of the Werewolf. You have until the next full moon!

Bonus: The Archives of the Old World will reveal to you everything a hero worthy of the name must know!

Two dice, a pencil and an eraser: embark on the adventure! YOU alone will decide the route to follow, the risks to take and the creatures to fight. GOOD LUCK... 


This is the fourth of my FF gamebooks to appear in this new edition, although all eight have been published in French at one time or another.

Gamebook Friday: La Nuit du Nécromancien

Out now from Gallimard Jeunesse is the new edition of La Nuit du Nécromancien - or Night of the Necromancer, if you don't read French.

The original French translation used the same cover as the English original - the painting of a Death Cultist by Martin McKenna. However, the new edition features a secondary antagonist on the cover, the Lich Queen and her corrupted court of undead, as imagined by Regis Torres.

So Night of the Necromancer joins Bloodbones in this new format, which leaves me wondering which book will be next...

Gamebook Friday: Le Pirate de l'au-delà

Available now from Gallimard Jeunesse is a new edition of the French translation of my fourth Fighting Fantasy gamebook Bloodbones.

What makes Le Pirate de l'au-delà different from the original English edition - apart from the fact it's in French - is that it features bonus content focused on the setting of the adventure. On top of that, it also features cover art by the awesome Paul Mafayon.

So, if you're a fan or a Francophile, follow this link to pick up some fantastic pirate booty now!
