Description

A finger trails the letters across a dusty tome A finger points the way down a dark haunted alley.
A finger feels for the pulse of life on a long decayed corpse.
A finger scratches the floorboards beneath your feet.
A finger chewed down to a white bone.
A finger that is not there.
A finger catches a shed tear and slides it into a bottle.
These are the Seven Fingers of the Hand of Gaub.

The Book of Gaub is a RPG supplement and 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.

History

Issue thirteen in the Lost Pages Spellbook Series, 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.

"A really beautiful book, full of lots of creepy, spooky spells, that are going to be really useful especially if you have players who like to get experimental with their spells"
- Ben Milton, Questing Beast
"If a book of spells that really bend reality in dark and mysterious ways (rather than just turn everyone into Marvel super heroes) is something you know your game group would seek out, then here it is."
