Dead of Night is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure from Stephen Hand (in collaboration with Jim Barbara), who would later write Legend of the Shadow Warriors and Moonrunner for the series. You play as a Demon-Slayer, whose objective is to rescue his kidnapped parents from the clutches of the Demon Prince Myurr, who seeks his revenge for past defeats. The interior art by Martin McKenna is highly effective and contributes enormously to the Gothic horror atmosphere of the adventure, playing to his strengths as an artist. The story is engaging and immersive, as you travel in search of your parents, which adds an interesting emotional connection between your hero and their primary objective, as it is not about treasure-hunting or fame-seeking, but simply saving your family and vanquishing an all-powerful evil at the same time. You are allowed to choose 4 special skills to aid you in your battle against demons, which adds another dimension of creativity to the story (although most of the skills aren't actually useful, once you have deduced the optimal path to success). I would highly recommend this gamebook for fans of the series.
