Join us as Chris breaks down how Clive Barker's "Books of Blood" can be used as inspiration in your games.
About the Chronicle
Brian’s Book Club is a casual, thoughtful series where Chris discusses horror novels, genre fiction, and books that have shaped the tone and themes of Twin Cities by Night’s storytelling over the years. Each episode blends personal reflection, literary analysis, and grounded discussion on why certain stories resonate so powerfully within the horror genre.
This is not a typical review podcast—Chris focuses on atmosphere, lessons learned, narrative craft, and the emotional impact of each work. For listeners who enjoy horror, literature, behind-the-scenes creative talk, or discovering new stories that spark inspiration, Brian’s Book Club offers a grounded, intimate, and sometimes surprisingly heartfelt experience.

In the chill of a Rochester night, faith falters, and loss speaks louder than miracles. A wrong turn and a dying signal lead the Fallen back to Ruth Sedona’s shelter, where grief pours from a bottle and an old friend’s diary opens wounds that never healed. As the group struggles to comfort the living and honor the dead, Lily’s memory cracks open—a flash of war, of angels, of promises made and broken. Between streetlights and sapphire glow, the echo of Heaven’s mercy meets the ruin of Hell’s truth.

Demon: The Fallen – Fragments is a Chronicles of Darkness story set in the early years of the new millennium, when the first of the Fallen return to the mortal world.

Blood blooms across a studio hallway and Lauren answers it with a mop and a vow. When the others arrive, grief and memory knot with the present: a hospital stretcher becomes a golden hall, a diary whispers of loss, and a simple pendant grows warm as if listening back. Powers spark, tempers flare, and a jagged surge of faith rips across the city like lightning. By night’s end they have a direction—east, then north, then east again—and a promise: whoever brought the knife will answer for it.

As snow turns to rain and night falls on Rochester, Lauren runs toward a friend’s pain and stumbles into something far older. The walls of the hospital blur into marble halls of gold, where echoes of the War flicker behind mortal suffering. Between the cries of the living and the silence of the dead, she learns how thin the veil truly is. When she leaves, a name and a wound follow her home — and something unseen follows close behind.

In the heart of Tábor, faith begins to take shape in terrible ways. Sir Reinhard, filled with divine certainty, finds purpose renewed as light and voice merge in a miracle of his own making. But while the knight walks the city streets with righteous fire in his heart, Brother Jan faces his own revelation — one born not of heaven, but of desperation.
As word of his “miracle” spreads, the faithful whisper his name in awe, and the damned take notice. Whether salvation or ruin follows, none can yet tell.
About the Chronicle

A worried visitor brings a case from beyond Bismarck’s city limits—one that brushes against old names and older doubts. While two investigators head out to make first contact, another faces a hard turn in his own life and reaches for a different kind of lifeline. The team gathers, the map opens, and the cold starts to point the way.

Winter presses in on Bismarck as the team juggles sleepless nights, frayed tempers, and a job that may be more than it seems. A troubling vision, an unexpected loss, and a lead pointing beyond city limits nudge Dakota Investigative Services toward choices that can’t be unmade. In the hush between tire slush and church bells, they take the next step—and the snow doesn’t quite cover the tracks.
