More than 15 tales of terror await you in this collection of short stories from the world of Forbidden Psalm, Last War, Dread Nights, KillSampleProcess, Endless Horrors and Hope is for the Dead. 

Written and curated by Will RD the creator of Forbidden Psalm and all its sister games. 

Included in this collection: 

Follow a warband as they undertake the bidding of the Mad Wizard himself. Who will survive to see the end of the world? Read of the hag who cursed a town and the Mad Wizard's true motivations. 

Journey into the trenches of The Last War with the mud-caked survivors desperate to avoid the horrors of the fog. 

Follow an investigation across centuries into the Cult of the Crawling eye, from the pages of Endless Horrors From Between the Stars. 

Live through the early days of the outbreak in Hope is for the dead, what caused the virus to spread so quickly? 

Read about those that go out to hunt the things that go bump in the night in Dread Nights. 
 

Come and choose your own path as you delve into the hospital of Dawnblight, will you make it out alive?

And many more Forbidden Tales. 

This collection will also include stories from the community around Forbidden Psalm. 

Forbidden Tales is a novel sized book with stories being added as we speak. The aim is for the content to be split 50/50 between stories from me the creator of Forbidden Psalm and stories for others. This includes some of the best writers I know [if we hit our stretch goals]. 

The book will be softback, uncoated paper and will contain images, stories, even some hidden secrets for your games of Forbidden Psalm. 

The book will be printed in the UK and sent to most places.  

This will be shipped from the UK but I am aiming to keep shipping costs to a minimum. This means shipping will be sent out in the UK via second class and in the rest of the world will be send international economy. This worked for my previous project 28 psalms. It means it keeps shipping costs low but also means no tracking.

US as there is now Import issues due to new tariffs these will be added to your order at the point of shipping costs being added [10% aprox]

The books will be printed in the UK on recycled paper and sent via the royal mail. Import and Taxes may be applied at the boarder so please note these are not included in your pledge.

Shipping rates will vary but I am hoping to keep all shipping below £10, but will know more when we come to ship.

Shipping will be charged post campaign. And will range from £8-15 depending on where you are in the world.
