The Longcase Clock book

Star Fox 64 Totally Unauthorized by Brady Games

Strange Secrets by Andy Roberts and Nick Redfern

In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka

Tower of Destruction, by Keith Martin, is a fairly late entry in the long-running Fighting Fantasy series of solo gamebooks, having first been published in 1991 and coming in at number 46 in the original Puffin sequence. It is not one I would consider a classic, and nor does …

The Dallas Woman’s Guide To Gold Digging With Pride
