Book description
Johannes Cabal and his rather inexact powers of necromancy are back
once more. This time, his talents are purchased by The Fear Institute as
they hunt for the Phobic Animus - the embodiment of fear. The
three Institute members, led by Cabal and his Silver Key, enter the
Dreamlands and find themselves pursued by walking trees plagued with
giant ticks, stone men that patrol the ruins of their castles, cats that
feed on human flesh and phobias which torment and devastate. The
intrepid explorers are killed off one by one as they traipse through
this obfuscating and frustrating world, where history itself appears to
alter. Cabal, annoyed that the quest is becoming increasingly heroic,
finds himself alone with the Institute's only remaining survivor, and
after a shockingly violent experiment, begins to suspect that not
everything is quite as it seems... Jonathan L. Howard is a game
designer, scriptwriter, and a veteran of the computer games industry
since the early 'nineties with titles such as the 'Broken Sword' series
to his credit. He lives in the United Kingdom with his wife and
daughter.
