Barrow of the Damned Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Live Action Roleplaying (LARP) in the dark bowels of the earth anyone? Add some restless dead, an ancient evil and a group of adventurers wielding only foam weapons. Not so appealing now, is it?

The Barrow of the Damned is the latest action adventure phenomenon to delight the eager role-playing enthusiasts at the Wardhope LARP Centre. The barrow is a truly wondrous discovery. Its vast network of dark tunnels and undiscovered tombs stretch for miles below the woodland and make an ideal area to run role-playing campaigns.

Mr Stephens, the owner of the Wardhope Centre, isn’t very particular about whom he sends deep into the darkness below and, oddly, he doesn’t even advertise the event. He isn’t stupid though; he has his reasons. After all, he knows firsthand of the horrors that lurk within and the devastating darkness that’s tainted his soul and continues to haunt him to this very day.

With elements of gore and violence, this book is not suitable for anyone under the age of fifteen.

Editorial Reviews

"It conjures up the wildest, most sinister images that will haunt readers' minds long after they are done reading the book." - Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I enjoy writing dark, chilling stories with elements of black humour. The reason for this is that when you feel helpless or experience a dire situation where you see no resolution, humour is sometimes the light that guides you out of this darkness.

With a busy family life and full-time job, I'm certainly not a prolific writer but choose to do so when an unusual thought or idea stokes my flame (and also when I can get some peace and quiet to write).

4.0 out of 5 stars Twisted and Entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2013
The owner of a live action role-playing center called The Wardhope Center, Mr. Stephens, sends unsuspecting groups of young people into an ancient burial place, under the impression that this is a wonderful setting for a true adventure in role playing. The caves cover miles under the woods with twists and turns, a lot of dead ends, tombs, and something else. He knows what’s down there, he’s been down there before, even if he feels guilty, he has his reasons for sending people into this place. True evil lurks there, an ancient evil. This book has it all, it is gorely (I know that is not a real word but it fits) funny, sad at times, twisted and very entertaining. I liked how it blended true horror with a little mythology. I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it and I recommend it highly.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2013
This book is written in a light hearten manner. If you are a RPG player, then the settings and story are very easy to follow. It took me a few days to complete the book itself. I found it enjoyable and relaxing. I was given a free copy of this book for review.

The characters have depth, the scenes have detail and the story line itself was very different.
