Hello
I'm looking for the unofficial gamebook "Blood of the Mandrake" by Pouncingpanda (and its walkthrough).
Thx

It is an amateur Fighting Fantasy.
It's called "Blood of the Mandrake" and it's a tribute to the dark fantasy gamebooks of Stephen Hand (Dead of Night, Legend of the Shadow Warriors & Moonrunner).
For those that don't know, SH had planned a book called "Blood of the Mandrake" that was to complete a loose "trilogy" set in the aftermath of the War of the Four Kingdoms. Like the previous two, it was to have a very "Hammer Horror" tone.
This is an attempt to finish the trilogy.
It strikes a good balance between complexity, fairness and fun. There are scary moments but also some dark humour.
