That's a bit of a mouthful, but all the same, it's been a literal age since I read a Ravenloft book, and this one was written by an author whose previous works regarding vampires I have very much enjoyed, so when I was offered a copy, I gladly accepted!

Time for my last SPFBOX review! Did I save the best for last? We'll see. Galdifort Quillpen has grand dreams of writing epic tales of heroic deeds, just like his famous aunt.
