Did you know...?
Despite The Gates of Death being his first Fighting Fantasy gamebook, best-selling author Charlie Higson has actually made a cameo appearance in the 30th anniversary adventure Blood of the Zombies. “The Fighting Fantasy books are really interesting as a way of storytelling and are very useful when looking at how to construct plots,” says Higson. “In each book there are many ways to get through to the end. I suppose when I write a book I am always asking myself the same questions you get asked as a reader of FF books. Do you open the door on the right? Do you use an axe or a morningstar? Do you kill the monster or try to talk to it… They are also interesting in that they show you that there are many ways to tell the same story.”
