Synopsis

Imagine that the stories, games, and legends you always believed to be mere fiction suddenly come to life. A group of friends, bonded by their love for role-playing games, gathers for a weekend of fun. But what begins as a simple game transforms into an epic journey when a mysterious storm transports them to a dark and medieval universe. 


Now, they must face creatures they thought were impossible: vampires, werewolves, and powerful wizards. With a missing king and a citadel threatened by unknown forces, the line between the game and reality begins to blur. 


Can they survive in this world where they have become the very characters they once imagined? In this realm lost to the shadows, every decision could be their last. Adventure, danger, and magic intertwine in a battle to control their destiny, where ancient enemies reemerge, and darkness comes to life. 


For fans of epic fantasy, Dragons and Darkness is an adventure that blurs the boundaries between imagination and reality, taking you on an unforgettable journey where everything you know can change in an instant.

The Monsters

Robert Sheckley

The Monsters by Robert Sheckley - Cordovir and Hum encounter a mysterious metallic object balancing on fire! As they debate its origins, a chilling realization sets in: what lurks inside could challenge everything they know about morality and truth.
Robert Sheckley was born on July 16, 1928, in Brooklyn, New York. Sheckley developed an avid interest in reading and storytelling, particularly drawn to the burgeoning genre of science fiction. This passion was nurtured by the pulp magazines of the era, which introduced him to the works of writers like H.G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Ray Bradbury.
Sheckley sold his first story, "Final Examination," to Imagination magazine in 1952. This marked the beginning of a prolific period in his career, during which he became a regular contributor to major science fiction magazines such as Galaxy Science Fiction and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. His breakthrough came with the publication of his first novel, Immortality, Inc., in 1958. The book explored the concept of life extension and the moral and societal implications of immortality. It was well-received and cemented Sheckley's reputation as a writer who could blend humor with profound philosophical questions.
One of his most famous works, The Status Civilization (1960), is a satirical exploration of a dystopian society where criminal behavior is the norm.
In addition to his novels, Sheckley was a master of the short story. His short stories were not only entertaining but also thought-provoking, often challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about society and human nature.
