About the Book:
The Book of Gaub is an anthology of creepy magic and micro-fiction, fit for all game systems and tailored to retro/old school D&D in the style of Wonder & Wickedness.
Written by seven authors, their concerted effort fleshes out the Seven Fingers of the Hand of Gaub, manifest through the filigrees of cobwebs and nails, false memories, and nightmares you want to forget.
The Book of Gaub book takes inspiration from "floorboard and cobweb" horror; touchstones of this are The Babadook, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, Stephen King's works like Misery and The Shining, and so on.

What a cool and interesting company Lost Pages is. I really enjoy how they bring elements from Jewish mysticism/Kabbalah to the forefront of their offerings. The content of this book is great, but the presentation really puts it over the top. It strikes me as a book that could very much be found inhabiting one of the fantasy worlds to which its contents apply, stashed in the desk drawer or on the bedside table of some long expired master of the arcane, waiting to be pilfered. I'd recommend this to anyone.
Very nice book. Evocative descriptions and not tied to any particular mechanics.
