Today we talk about Stephen King’s The Shinning and how it can be used to inspire players and storytellers in all World of Darkness 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.

The final night descends over Minneapolis–St. Paul. The coterie gathers one last time, drawn by a web of unfinished promises and haunting revelations. As lines blur between salvation and damnation, each Kindred must confront the truth of what they’ve become—and what the city will demand of them next. The shadows of the Twin Cities have never felt heavier, nor more alive.
About the Chronicle
Dread is the third story arc of Twin Cities by Night, a Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle set in the hot and humid summer of 2011 in Minneapolis–St. Paul.
Following the events of Negligence and Homecoming, the city’s Kindred find themselves caught in new webs of fear, grief, and corruption. In the dark heart of the Twin Cities, power and hunger have never felt so close.

In the sweltering summer of 2011, the city’s pulse grows erratic. The Kindred of the Twin Cities stir to find their nights haunted not only by enemies, but by the echoes of something older and far less forgiving.
William awakens from a nightmare that feels too deliberate to be a dream, his thoughts infected by Ellsworth’s lessons — and the line between revelation and madness blurs. Kaetao, meanwhile, finds himself drawn back into the orbit of Annabelle and Ty, where talk of rebellion and forgotten wars promises both salvation and ruin.
As loyalties bend and secrets burn away, each Kindred begins to glimpse the thin, inverted vein that runs beneath the city — a current of power and hunger that no one can control forever.

As the Hussite wars smolder across Bohemia, two men of conviction begin their journey toward the heart of both faith and damnation. Sir Reinhard, a young knight torn between the grandeur of Rome and the austerity of his homeland, seeks divine purpose through strength and wrath. Brother Jan, a scarred preacher of radical zeal, spreads his gospel with burning certainty — and perhaps something darker whispering behind it.
Together, they will soon travel toward Tábor, unaware that an unholy relic awaits them — one that will test not only their loyalty and reason, but the very boundaries of their souls.
About the Chronicle
Chronicles of Darkness: Inferno – “Temptation” delves into the spiritual corruption and inner turmoil of those who believe they serve the light. Guided by Slavik as Storyteller, the chronicle reimagines Inferno through the lens of medieval faith and heresy, where sin and virtue intertwine and every prayer might echo back from Hell. Each character creation, each confession, and each choice becomes another layer in the struggle between grace and the infernal hunger within.

Before the Hussite war caravan sets forth, two unseen entities stir within the pages of a cursed tome — their hunger older than scripture and their patience long spent. In the quiet of a ruined monastery, where faith has decayed into ash and echo, the first whisper of corruption takes form. This is where the demons awaken, and where temptation begins its slow descent into mortal hearts.
About the Chronicle
Chronicles of Darkness: Inferno – “Temptation” is a dark medieval chronicle set amid the turbulence of faith, heresy, and spiritual decay. Guided by Slavik as Storyteller, it explores damnation not as a distant punishment but as an intimate presence — born from envy, sloth, greed, and wrath. As Heaven turns its gaze away, humanity learns that the true inferno lies not below, but within.

A routine follow-up at a DC church turns anything but. An unsettling warning on the steps, a careful interview behind closed doors, and a hint of something watching from within push the cell to rethink what’s “sacred.” As the investigation fans out, patterns begin to glow—drawing battle lines across pulpits and pews. Choices harden; tactics sharpen. The hunt moves from rumor to resolve.

The bunker standoff cools into resolve: lines are drawn, a fragile truce is struck, and a plan takes shape. One path shields a family; the other hunts the truth off-book. With nerves raw, mines laid, and the “mop gun” ready, the cell turns its eyes to the first church on the list—where answers might finally start to surface.

Pressure inside the bunker boils over as trust frays and lines are drawn. Beyond those walls, an unexpected visit forces a choice no one is ready to make. Loyalties will be tested, bargains weighed, and a dangerous new spark may change the hunt forever.

With power restored and time running out, the last survivors face one final corridor of impossible choices. Voices promise safety, doors promise escape, and truth stands just out of reach. In the end, answers arrive—but not without a cost—and the question of what was real lingers long after the lights go out.
About the Chronicle
My Little Sister Will Make You Suffer is a Call of Cthulhu story about identity, paranoia, and the terror of liminal spaces. Surreal environments, unreliable recollection, and frayed alliances press the investigators toward choices that feel inevitable—and consequences that feel inescapable.

The survivors descend into the darkness below, seeking escape from the thing that hunts them. What they find is colder and far stranger—a dying ship, a voice that calls itself “Father,” and a growing suspicion that reality itself is unraveling. Survival demands hard choices, and the line between cruelty and reason begins to blur.
