The Book of Horror Video Games covers over 40 years of fear in video games, from early pioneers like Asylum and 3D Monster Maze to recent releases such as the Resident Evil 4 remake and Blasphemous II.

Author Adrián Hernán guides us through this intergenerational journey of interactive terror, offering a historical overview of the genre's evolution—from the legendary Haunted House on the Magnavox Odyssey to modern blockbusters. The book explores the shift from 8-bit classics to polygonal environments and the significant impact of indie developers in the last decade.

National productions receive special attention with a dedicated chapter and interviews with leading developers like Baroque Decay, Tessera Studios, Abramelin Games, Broken Bird Games, Dreamlight Games, Milkstone Studios, Nox Noctis, Path Games, Rainy Night, and Obscure Tales. The Book of Horror Video Games promises to chill even the blood of Cthulhu himself.
