It features an interactive Solo TTRPG novel, along with a traditional adventure adaptation that you can run for your friends after experiencing it on your own.
Both books in the set are standalone and can be separated to suit your tastes and needs.

Malek: Reigning Devil 1-3
John Wick meets Spawn and is inspired by Dante’s Inferno! 36 interior pages! Malek journeys to Purgatory to confront Lucifer!
Malek: Reigning Devil is a high-octane, hardcore, but literary, story with deep influences from Dante’s Divine Comedy, Spawn, and Paradise Lost.
Malek, for eons, existed as God’s Wrath on Earth—the Ha-Masshit, ensconced in his belief in God’s love. Throughout time, Malek has laid waste to empires, smited thousands in the name of God, and hunted rogue nephilim. Steeped in blood, Malek has remained the righteous hammer of his creator, never questioning the nature of his divine existence.
However, Malek was tricked into journeying to the lowest circle of Hell to kill the Devil. Unbeknownst to Malek, he who kills the Devil, must then become the new Devil—a fact Malek learned only upon killing Lucifer.
Malek seethed over the eternal punishment he had not earned, for no angel may set foot in Heaven once sullied by the sands of Hell. Cheated by his creator, he sought vengeance born of holy wrath and hate.
One by one, Malek defeated the lords of each circle of Hell- vanquishing his enemies and bringing their loyal servants to heel

Texas Kid, My Brother
The internationally-acclaimed graphic novel by legendary artist Igor Kordey.
The internationally acclaimed graphic novel by one of the modern masters of comics finally makes its English-language debut: Texas Kid, My Brother by Igor Kordey.
Kordey’s remarkable skill and staggering craftsmanship are on full searing display in this raw, revelatory tale, spanning from the very birth of the comics medium, through an industry’s growing pains, to the unhealed traumas of today.
Adapted by Kordey from a short story by Darko Macan (Grendel Tales: Devils and Deaths, A Prayer to the Sun), Texas Kid, My Brother tells the tortured story of Radovan Brandt, a cartoonist bearing under the overpowering weight of his father’s legacy…Tomislav Brandt, the creator of the legendary Western comic strip The Texas Kid. Radovan has finally begun to step out from his father’s shadow, when suddenly the Texas Kid himself—the fictional comic strip character, and his father’s actual favorite son—knocks on his door and enters his life.
In Texas Kid, My Brother, Kordey lays bare the bruises, scars, and unhealed trauma resulting from the birth of comics. A generation reared in the years before World War II, and witness to its horrors, transformed their hardship and anguish into a whole new medium, forging a lucrative new industry…and an inescapable legacy that holds us still in its thrall today.

Sweeney Todd #1
May this story disturb and excite you appropriately.
This entire story will be told in 4 books total. This is the first book.
Pre-Victorian London, 1785.
The practice of medical cannibalism has reached its peak.
Mumia—the practice of grinding human flesh and organ into a powder to be served with wine—now survives only among the rich. In candlelit basements, they host lavish unwrapping parties, sipping dust from ancient mummies and drifting into euphoric trances.
Outside their mansions, the city burns.
The Golden Riots have left London raw and trembling—streets crowded with beggars, bankers, and broken men clawing to rebuild what faith and empire have consumed. To add insult to injury, the American Revolutionary War has ended, and veterans like Sweeney Todd return to a city unrecognizable. In one of London’s most unstable and desperate times, madness and money intertwine, salvation is sold by the ounce, and superstition and science become one.
Just a short walk from the roaring Royal Exchange, Sweeney’s barbershop on Fleet Street becomes his refuge. His hands, once trained for battle, now find grim purpose in the rhythm of a blade. Within its dim walls, throats are bared, secrets are whispered, and the scent of iron never fades.
Next door lives Mrs. Lovett, the eccentric widow weary from her two-year stay in the madhouse as a “misbehaved woman.” Committed by her late husband and suffocated by debt, she struggles to keep her bakery alive. One missed payment, and she loses everything—again.
When Sweeney and Lovett’s paths cross, misfortune binds them. A strange accident—part chance, part supernatural—awakens something unholy between them. Together, they find inspiration in London’s darkest indulgence.
The rich have been consuming the dead for centuries in pursuit of immortality.
But what if there were a more… efficient recipe?
If the nobles can swallow death and call it healing—
then perhaps London is ready for a new kind of Mumia:
freshly ground, served hot, and baked to perfection.
