They lie, steal, kidnap, maim, and kill—and we put them in our children's nurseries. They are the Fair Folk . . . the Little People . . . the Faeries. You may think the only appear in tales, but they are everywhere: in the shadows, behind the trees, beneath the hills—and yes, even under the bed. They have lived beside us since the very beginning. Some are pretty and delicate, with gossamer wings . . . others are 10 feet tall with a taste for human flesh or wizened killers with blue skin and iron claws. This book lets you incorporate them all into your GURPS game. GURPS Faerie contains: A guide to faeries of the world, from Alaska and Australia to Brazil and Japan. Templates for many different types of faeries . . . and the mortals who know them. A guide to faerie magic. Campaign settings, from traditional European folklore to paranormal investigation or supernatural cyberpunk—or build your own with the tools provided! Keep cold iron and Scripture close to hand, believe the opposite of what you hear, and don't trust anything you see. And, whatever you do, don't eat their food.

Graeme Davis was born at an early age and has lived ever since. His enduring fascination with creatures from myth and folklore can probably be blamed equally on Ray Harryhausen and Christopher Lee. He studied archaeology at the University of Durham before joining Games Workshop in 1986, where he co-wrote the acclaimed Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game among others. He has worked on over 40 video games, countless tabletop roleplaying game products, and a few more sensible books in the realms of history, mythology, and folklore. Most recently, he has written multiple titles for Osprey Publishing's Dark Osprey and Myths and Legends lines. He blogs at graemedavis.wordpress.com and tweets as @GraemeJDavis.
