The Book of Unremitting Horror Reviews

Reviews from rpgnow.com

BOUH is our most critically acclaimed book, with it and its d20 cousin receiving a clean sweep of eight five star ratings on rpgnow.com.  Read the reviews of the d20 version (a subset of the GUMSHOE version) here and the GUMSHOE version here.

This review on rpg.net gave five for style and four for substance, but the substance was marked down because of “the overstepping of too many boundaries is a bit problematic though and has to be taken into consideration thereby lessening the final score by a point.” You can’t ask for a better review in a horror product!

The black and white illustrations by Dave Allsop are brilliant and some make me want to stay away from the book when it gets dark.
