Realms of Mystery

Edited by Philip Athans.

A murder victim is turned into a zombie, just long enough to cover up the circumstances of his own death...

A silent ghost with a friendly grin greets those about to meet their doom...

The only clue to who's killing a party of adventurers is the letter "H," written in the blood of one of the victims...

All new stories of murder, suspense, and intrigue by Elaine Cunninham, Jeff Grubb, Ed Greenwood, and other favorite Forgotten Realms authors.

Forgotten Realms

According to the setting's creators, Forgotten Realms is the name of an imaginary fantasy world that exists somewhere beyond the real world. The setting is described as a world of strange lands, dangerous creatures, and mighty deities, where magic and seemingly supernatural phenomena are quite real. The premise is that, long ago, the Earth and the world of the Forgotten Realms were more closely connected. As time passed, the inhabitants of planet Earth have mostly forgotten about the existence of that other world—hence the term Forgotten Realms.

Forgotten Realms consists of 19 total books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
