Both of the adventures are written as creepy horror adventures instead of goblin-stabbing dungeoncrawls, and I think they do a good job at that. Tragic backstories, foes that you end up feeling bad for mixed with horrifying monstrosities from beyond the grave and/or stars; they've both got a nice autumnal/Halloween creepiness to them.I have to say I'm more impressed with the rules adherence in these adventures than with the Goodman Games adventures (Fey Sisters' Fate and Glitterdoom). I dunno if that's because these were written later than the Goodman Games ones, and therefore had access to a completer set of rules or something. But overall, the monsters here are closer to the standards of the ones from the Basic Rules and the Hoard of the Dragon Queen critter pack. There's still a few minor glitches, condition immunity changes and that kind of fiddly detail, but this is excellent work.I'd give these two a good low A grade. Well worth the money.</blockquote>
