From publisher blurb: Supernatural Horror breaks down works of short fiction into plot hooks and story goals usable in your tabletop roleplaying game. Using stories recommended by H. P. Lovecraft in his seminal essay Supernatural Horror in Literature, these elements can be used with any system, any setting, and any genre. Enjoy the stories, then recycle, re-imagine, and remix them for your own dark fantasy and horror campaigns. Volume 1: An Introduction covers some of the stories and authors mentioned in Lovecraft’s introduction. He cites them as examples of type of weird tale that goes beyond fear for physical safety, to wrestling with the nature of reality. They are supposed to support his basic thesis, and represent the sort of stories that the genre as he knew it grew from. The book contains the following: 5 short stories by various authors, all recommended by H. P. Lovecraft as outstanding examples of supernatural horror fiction. Plot hooks and story goals drawn from each story, for you to use as a creative springboard for your own adventures. Notes on story structure, and the events that need to take place in the beginning, the middle and the end of your adventure. Discussion on the types of player characters, adversaries, and supporting characters needed to play out each story. Notes on key locations required for each story, and thoughts on alternatives that could also work. An overview of the obstacles player characters have to face in order to achieve the story goal, and how to adapt the story’s hindrances. Notable objects that appear in the story, along with which are absolutely necessary to the plot, and which serve other purposes.
