Description
In the summer of 1992, a forbidden role-playing game, Creatures & Corridors, takes a dark turn for five high school students, warping reality into a nightmarish fantasy. With orcs, tentacled horrors, and deadly traps, their living room, yard, and basement become a battleground. Now, they must navigate the game's perilous challenges, playing for their lives under the sinister scrutiny of a devilish Gamemaster. Blending fantasy, horror, and tabletop RPG storytelling, Creatures & Corridors explores what happens when survival becomes part of the story.

Marketing Plan
Leaning toward a more compact curation style, The Lab Press has introduced the Lab Portable Edition, a smaller paperback designed to lower the barrier to entry, priced under $10 each, without compromising production quality.
With spot gloss finishes, French flaps, and other aesthetics of a production-standard premium book cover, this discovery format was developed with John J. Hill (designer for the DC Compact Comics line).
The Lab Press will release a set of three titles in this format each fall. Lab Portable Editions: Wave One includes acclaimed backlist titles such as the award-winning Essentials Vol. 1, Super Science Vol. 1, and Creatures & Corridors.
Wave Two will release in the fall of 2027 with three additional backlist titles.
