Creatures & Corridors

Edition excerpt from Creatures & Corridors (The Lab Portable Edition) (2026): Presenting the award-winning, critically acclaimed original graphic novel from The Lab Press — now in The Lab Portable™ Edition! Adapted from the previously published premium hardcover slipcase edition, The Lab Portable™ Edition offers this complete, unabridged graphic novel in a smaller, paperback format—the same acclaimed story and artwork, now more accessible than ever. Praised by Kirkus Reviews as "richly imagined and illustrated, a splendidly dark ode to RPGs and classic horror tales," and by Feathered Quill for delivering "action, suspense, and vivid graphics that make the story come alive," Creatures & Corridors also earned the coveted Notable Book designation by BlueInk Reviews. When the line between player and character disappears, a group of friends must face the consequences of the game they started. In the summer of 1992, a forbidden role-playing game, Creatures & Corridors, takes a dark turn for five high schoolers, 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.
