Publisher's Synopsis
The New World...of Darkness and Fear
In a new country, founded in a new land upon new principles, it's no surprise that the horrors that grew in America were also something new. The old horrors that came to the New World took on new shades and terrifying aspects that set them apart from their monstrous forebears in the old countries, shaped by the American people's independence and penchant for reinvention, the writers of this new nation unearthing fears and dark truths in a uniquely American way. Candle Game: (TM) From Sea to Shadowed Sea contains complete rules for play and features weird and horrific tales by legendary American writers, including "The Eyes" by Edith Wharton, "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Fearsome Touch of Death" by Robert E. Howard, and "The Damned Thing" by Ambrose Bierce. Included as part of the game, these stories can also be read on their own. As these writers guide your dark, lonely trek across the continent revealing the new horrors they found between its shores, try not to ask yourself what unknowns still await discovery in the shadows of the nation brought forth around them-or how close any may be.
