The Chill Game Book Bundle - Curated by David L. Craddock

Temperatures are dropping, turning the great outdoors frigid and inhospitable. Crank the thermostat, heat a mug of cocoa, and curl up with ten epic reads found in the Chill Game Book Bundle.

Author and historian David L. Craddock returns with two entries in his GameDev Stories series featuring interviews with developers, designers, and other industry veterans. StoryBundle newcomer Kristopher Landis presents Quest for the Dragon Star, an oral history of the WMAC Masters show featuring Ho Sung Pak—famous for portraying Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat and MKII—among other martial artists.

All that, plus Brian Riggsbee's collection of NES and Famicom maps, a book that examines the real-life influences behind some of the world's most terrifying horror games, two books from the vast library of Hardcore Gaming 101, and more.

StoryBundle is a pay-what-you-want platform for independent authors to share their works with readers (and gamers) like you. Paying at least $5 will get you three books from the Chill Game Book Bundle, while paying $20 or more unlocks all seven bonus books. – David L. Craddock
