We don’t celebrate Halloween around these parts, but the whole mythology of it is so tantalising that we love this season. Even with witches, pumpkin spice lattes and jack-o’-lanterns, this time of Samhain has something spooky about it.
Our stories on the subject are short, but people find them quite enjoyable. Check them out in both ebook and audiobook:

Contains 2 books:
Pickle Pie
Cherry Pie
Pickle Pie: When a bankrupt armourer ends up owning a second-rate jugger player, he decides to go for it.

Simply put, GameLit is a kind of story that borrows heavily from videogames, or has direct elements of such a game, like levels, boss-fights, character classes etc. The crunchiest form is LitRPG, but these stories will never be that.
Mythography GameLit will always sit in the intersection of a fun story and one that has some select Game Elements. If you are not a gamer, these stories are still for you. Don’t feel daunted by something you’re not familiar with.
