A strange spellbook of unique spells and magical catastrophes. It draws inspiration from “floorboard and cobweb” horror.

A finger trails letters across a dusty tome.

A finger points the way down a dark haunted alley.

A finger feels for the pulse of life on a long-decayed corpse.

A finger scratches the floorboards beneath your feet.

A finger chewed down to white bone.

A finger that is not there.

A finger catches a shed tear and slides it into a bottle.

These are the Seven Fingers of the Hand of Gaub.

The Book of Gaub is an RPG supplement and anthology of creepy magic and micro-fiction, fit for all game systems and tailored to retro and old-school D&D in the style of Wonder & Wickedness. Written by seven authors, the book expands upon the Seven Fingers of the Hand of Gaub through cobwebs, nails, false memories, and nightmares you wish you could forget.

Influences include The Babadook, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Stephen King works such as Misery and The Shining.
