Pathfinder Module: The House on Hook Street
Dreams Turn Deadly!
In Old Korvosa, nightmare-spawned horrors begin stalking the district's shiver addicts, sparking a manhunt to bring those responsible to justice. What role does the strange cult known as the Brotherhood of the Spider play in the mysterious deaths, and why is the veil between the dreaming and waking worlds so thin? To solve these mysteries and others, the heroes must walk the unseen paths of Bridgefront's occult underworld, and even enter the Dimension of Dreams itself to unravel the web of intrigue concealing the cult's deadly machinations. But what will happen when the heroes' own dreams turn against them, and what becomes of those who uncover esoteric secrets too terrible to know? Beset by dangers from their own minds, the heroes must race against time to save Korvosa—and their sanity.
Designed for use with Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Occult Adventures, this adventure is packed with terrifying thrills! Written by fan-favorite author Brandon Hodge, The House on Hook Street is a deluxe adventure for 6th-level characters, and includes 64 action-packed pages of engaging combat, urban investigation, and a new monstrous foe, plus a gorgeous double-sided poster map featuring an overview of Korvosa's Bridgefront neighborhood and a miniatures-scale battlemap.
Players can expect to reach 9th level upon completion of this adventure—if they can survive the nightmares of a menacing dreamscape!

About the author
Brandon Hodge
29 books6 followersBy day, Brandon Hodge owns and operates Monkey See, Monkey Do! toy store and the world-famous Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas. When night arrives, he retrieves his pen and puts nightmares to paper as a freelance writer and historian specializing in the esoteric and occult. Brandon's award-winning writing and game design credits include works from Kobold Press and Paizo Publishing. He is author of the critically-acclaimed adventures From Shore to Sea, Feast of Ravenmoor, Rasputin Must Die!, and The House on Hook Street, and served as Creative Consultant on Paizo's Occult Adventures rulebook.
The demented twists he brings to the gaming industry can perhaps best be explained with his extracurricular hobbies: when he isn't writing, he brings curses home with him collecting ouija boards, haunted antiques, planchettes, and other Spiritualist-related items, and displays his world-class planchette collection on his website, www.mysteriousplanchette.com. Brandon’s research on Spiritualism history has appeared in the pages of the Smithsonian Magazine, and his popular Ghosts in the Machines column appears every quarter in the pages of Paranormal Review, the Magazine for the Society for Psychical Research.
Brandon is a respected lecturer in the occult history field, and has loaned his expertise as on-air talent for dozens of popular radio and television programs, including a segment featuring his séance artifact collection on Science Channel’s hit show Oddities. Brandon also appeared on Travel Channel's Ouija-related "Patience Worth" episode of Mysteries at the Museum. In addition, he makes frequent guest appearances in both print interviews and popular radio shows, and has contributed artifacts to a number of museum exhibits, including the Let the Spirit Move You exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, the MIA's Supernatural America exhibit, and the Peabody Museum's Conjuring the Spirit World exhibition.
Brandon is currently working on a picturesque coffee-table book on the subject of spirit communication devices from their early beginnings to their modern equivalents. Titled "Talking Tables & Scribbling Spirits: A Complete History of Spirit Communication Tools," the book is slated for publication in the near future, and includes the most in-depth historical research ever performed on talking boards.
Brandon lives in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood in Austin, Texas, with two imps disguised as children, Jack and Elliot, and their innumerable pet ghosts.

Summary:
- One of the best-ever Pathfinder modules. Kudos to Brandon Hodge.
Pros:
- Superb plot development
- Memorable characters and scenes
- Intricate, well-crafted story
- Characters have believable motivations
Cons:
- Naming conventions: "Moses", etc. I don't want to start seeing "John's" and "Dave's" in PF adventures. Not to mention, "Sally Scrabblebones" may be the silliest name to ever appear in a PF module.
- Overemphasis on violence to resolves issues, but this is more a problem with PF modules as a whole.
