In this comedic fantasy gamebook for adults, YOU play Mr Artanon, the conniving butler to the dark lord, and the choices you make shape the story. Navigate a cast of treacherous nobility and unwelcome relatives. Help the household werewolves make it through ‘that time of the month’. Manage a kitchen staff of stupid goblins. Teach the castle harpies the merits of personal hygiene. Accidentally sleep with a virgin due to be sacrificed to the Shadow God, and more. With multiple pathways and 9 different endings to discover (not to mention plenty of ways to meet an untimely demise), you're going to have your work cut out for you ensuring the castle runs smoothly. This is Downton Abbey meets Mordor - will you serve-vive? "It works very well in e-book format because all the choices are hyperlinked to the relevant page; no endlessly flipping back and forth! There are ribald jokes and double entendres throughout. Malacandros is also a terrifying boss (but sometimes he’s really nice!), and the atmosphere of the book is danger-filled and darkly humorous."
