Sagas of the Demonspawn explained
Sagas of the Demonspawn is a four issue gamebook series written by J. H. Brennan and illustrated by Geoff Taylor (first two books) and John Blanche (latter two).[1]
The books feature a protagonist named Fire*Wolf in a continuing storyline.Unusual for gamebooks, the series is written in third person past tense.
The books have been translated into Danish, dropping the asterisk from the name of the protagonist.[2] The Italian, French and Spanish versions version didn't drop it.
Books in the series
- Fire*Wolf (1984)
- The Crypts of Terror (1984)
- Demondoom (1985)
- Ancient Evil (1985)
Reception
While the series has been criticized for having an ill-designed combat system, the first two books have been praised for the quality of the writing and for targeting an older audience than most gamebooks (such as Brennan's GrailQuest series).[3] Conversely, the latter two books have been described as being "nightmarishly difficult" and having "rushed" writing.[4] [5]
