A Cthulhu LitRPG Story
by Tony Walker
Combining Lovecraftian dread with the high-stakes action of a dystopian thriller, Darkworlds: London is the first installment in a gripping LitRPG series that explores the thin, blood-stained line between gaming and madness.
In the real world, it's 2027, and disgruntled, lone-wolf data analyst Adam Harker works for a corporation he hates. In this dystopian future, many seek to lose themselves in virtual reality games, but Adam is dead set against playing Darkworlds, designed by mega-corporation Miskatonic Games, until he's tempted by two quite different people for two wholly different reasons.
In the game, it's 1927, and Adam Harker is in London battling against the minions of Cthulhu, but then come hints and suggestions that something else stirs, something wicked and secret, something new, rising up and replicating itself within the code and taking on the form of ageless evil.
Hidden knowledge leads Adam through a series of terrifying revelations as he searches from London to Glastonbury and into the Dreamlands.
Join Adam as he fights to save his friends, and maybe even the world itself, from the horrors that lurk in the game.
“Brilliant… fabulous descriptions of the locale." — Amazon UK ★★★★★ "Just plain flat out FUN." — Amazon US ★★★★★ "Galen Wolf had managed to combine horror and LitRPG like Reese's combined peanut butter and chocolate." — Amazon US ★★★★★ "A refreshingly creepy LitRPG novel… real stakes of death and lost sanity." — Amazon US ★★★★★ "An excellent page turner that pulls the reader along for a great ride." — Amazon US ★★★★★ Slightly longer pulls for more impact: "I loved the Lovecraftian elements. I loved the scuttling, tentacle-y monsters that want to eat your sanity. I loved the almost visceral feeling of dread as you read the book." — Amazon US ★★★★★ "The game mechanics were not intrusive to the story or character and well done… just played like a real character and was a considerably better story for the MC being an ordinary player surviving on his wits." — Amazon UK ★★★★★ "Very refreshing in a genre grown stale with fantasy clones. Highly recommended." — Amazon US ★★★★★ A compact block if you want several together: "Just plain flat out FUN." ★★★★★ — Amazon US "Brilliant… fabulous descriptions of the locale." ★★★★★ — Amazon UK "Very refreshing in a genre grown stale with fantasy clones." ★★★★★ — Amazon US "I loved the almost visceral feeling of dread as you read the book." ★★★★★ — Amazon US”

Noir meets the occult in gaslit 1920s London. A sceptical detective. A dead woman who isn't. And a conspiracy that turns the city's shadows into something far worse than metaphor.
Vampire noir at its darkest. A damaged detective. A missing child. And something ancient wearing the face of Parisian glamour. Christian Le Cozh didn't come to Paris to be a hero. But the city has decided he'll do.

A Cthulhu LitRPG
Continuing the descent into Lovecraftian dread and high-stakes LitRPG action, Darkworlds: Paris is the gripping second installment of a dystopian thriller series that explores the blood-stained line between gaming and madness.
A LitRPG Saga
Revenge is a dish best served with poison, steel, and a majestic golden eagle.
After being brutally stripped of his gear and dignity by the sadistic thief Loki, Barcud deletes his account in a fit of rage--only to realise he left a legendary Easter Egg behind. Reborn as an Elf Ranger, he returns to the hyper-realistic world of the Greenwood to hunt his tormentor.
Joined by an eccentric cast--including the narcissistic Runesmith Harald and the operatic battlefield terror Romeo el Mejor--Barcud must master the “mechanical necessity” of the forest to survive. From the Forest of Nightmares to the flaming floors of the Royal Palace, the hunt is on.
In the Greenwood, your stats are your life--and Barcud is playing for blood.
