Whilst most of these gamebooks were fantasy, this one was horror: A prequel can be played online here.

Eeeek! This is scary! "You do not sleep well. Strange, disturbing images drift through your mind. "You see yourself running in a black background, with hideous screaming sounds all around you. "Then, there are a man and a woman in white robes, stretching out their arms and beseeching you to listen; although their lips are moving no sounds come out. "Then you see yourself again. You open a door which only leads to another one; you open this to find still another. The doors only lead to more doors. Finally, you find yourself in the room of a house. There is a body hanging from a rope tied around its neck. The rope is attached to a fan spinning around and around...you step forward to find that the body is...yourself!"

I remember going through a phase with these books. They were jolly good entertainment. {I cheated every time)

I ACTUALLY HAD MOST OF THESE. there were several others that could be classified as vaguely horror, amonst them 'night of the demon' (think it was called that) and 'vault of the vampire'.
i used to love these books and my pocket money usually strtched to one.
the joe dever ('lonewolf' and 'freeway warrior') ones were alos great.

When they first published Warlock of Firetop Mountain, a friend said they'd never catch on.

I have most of the Fighting Fantasy books (especialy the early ones) and House of Hell was one of the best.
I also love Deathtrap Dungeon, City of Thieves, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Forest of Doom, and Island of the Lizard King.
Some of the interior artwork was superb.

'midnight rogue' and 'night of the demon' (still not sure that's the right title) were probably my favourites. i think i prefered the aRT work in the 'lone wolf' and 'freeway warrior' books (although at the time i loved them all!!

the one i keep calling 'night of the demon' was called 'dead of night' in which you play a demon hunter.

unless i'm wrong, the choose-your-own-adventure gamebook genre is a british invention. since most of these books are horror-fantasy-sci-fi related, they form a link with my fascination with brit horror. does anyone here remember j.h.brennan who authored many arthurian-legend books in this genre as well as "curse of frankenstein" and "castle dracula?" they were very interesting plot-wise...
