Mazes and Monsters
Mazes and Monsters: A Novel | Rona Jaffe
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Part thriller, part love story, Mazes and Monsters is a spellbinding novel about a group of college students in the 1980s who use a fantasy game as refuge from their personal, emotional, and social problems. Based loosely on the steam tunnel incidents of the 1970s, the four friendsKate, Jay Jay, Daniel, and Robbieeventually take their game too far when they decide to live-action role-play in the caverns near their college campus. What follows is terrifying and unexpected, as each character dives deep into the darkest part of their mind, those forbidden places where our most menacing truths lie.

#octphotochallenge #booktober 2 for 1 #80sToyinBookForm #FullofAdventure @CherylDeFranceschi reminded me af this one not too long ago — a loosely disguised Dungeons and Dragons adventure game goes terribly wrong. Somewhat of a cautionary tale of the "dangers" of RP games. This picture of Tom Hanks from the movie adaptation is enough to scare anybody!!? @LibrarianRyan @RealLifeReading

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hahaha! Back when he was just a great comedian and really recognized as the complete actor he is today. I've never seen this one, but I'll have to check it out. 8y

#TBT- 35 years ago, I apparently went off the rails and read Mazes and Monsters, which I think was meant to be a cautionary tale of the evils of role-playing games. 😳😬 Based on what else I was reading, and read currently, I just don't even know. 🤔

LeahBergen Ha!!! 8y
