The Will O Wisp

Introducing Aurora Grimeon, a gothic heroine, pulled into a new eerie mystery filled with danger, Hoodoo, and murder. After her parents’ accidental death by mushroom poisoning, young Aurora Grimeon is sent to live with her estranged grandfather on Ossuary Isle, deep in the southern swamps.

Along the way she meets its sinister residents who care for the tombstones and mausoleums, living out their lives by the strange rules of Hoodoo magic. When ghostly things start happening out in the swamp and island residents start disappearing, Aurora thrusts herself into the middle of the mystery, uncovering secrets that might be better left buried.

This illustrated poetry collection combines everyday imagery, fairy tales, literary homages, pop culture references, metaphors and synaesthesia to deal with a variety of themes such as love, heartbreak, mental illness, recovery, nature, life in a big city, society, and much more. It includes ballads, haikus, a sonnet, free form and everything in-between. Just like the will-o?-the-wisps found in folklore and travellers? tales, this poetry collection will transport you to a world that seems just like ours and yet feels slightly different, because the veil between thoughts and physical places is thinning. And so is the one between everyday life and magic.

From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.
