Dead Man Walking When Harrowstone Prison burned to the ground, prisoners, guards, and a host of vicious madmen met a terrifying end. In the years since, the nearby town of Ravengro has shunned the fire-scarred ruins, telling tales of unquiet spirits that wander abandoned cellblocks. But when a mysterious evil disturbs Harrowstone’s tenuous spiritual balance, a ghostly prison riot commences that threatens to consume the nearby village in madness and flames. Can the adventurers discover the secrets of Harrowstone and quell a rebellion of the dead? Or will they be the spirit-prison’s next inmates? This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path launches the Carrion Crown Adventure Path and includes: - “The Haunting of Harrowstone,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 1st-level characters, by Michael Kortes. - A tour of Ravengro, village of mystery and suspicion, by Michael Kortes. - Expanded rules for creating and running horrific haunts, by Brandon Hodge. - An ancient revenge is reborn in the Pathfinder’s Journal, by F. Wesley Schneider. - Six new monsters, by Adam Daigle and Patrick Renie. Cover art by Dave Rapoza

By day, Brandon Hodge owns and operates Monkey See, Monkey Do! toy store and the world-famous, steampunk-and-circus-sideshow-themed Big Top Candy Shop in Austin, Texas. When night approaches, he produces his pen to set nightmares to paper. A proud member of the Werecabbage writing guild, Brandon's design credits include numerous Open Design projects, including Halls of the Mountain King, Sunken Empires, and the Midgard Campaign Setting, the Paizo adventures From Shore to Sea and Feast of Ravenmoor, and three popular books in Paizo Publishing's Adventure Path line: Shadows of Gallowspire, Dead Heart of Xin, and Rasputin Must Die! Brandon also stays busy with freelance work with Kobold Press, 0one Games and Green Ronin in between big projects. The demented twists he brought to Midgard's Wasted West region can perhaps best be explained with his extracurricular hobbies: when he isn't writing, he brings curses home with him collecting ouija boards, haunted antiques, planchettes, and other Spiritualist-related items, and displays his world-class planchette collection on his website, www.mysteriousplanchette.com. Brandon is a respected lecturer in the occult history field, and has loaned his expertise as on-air talent for dozens of popular radio and television programs, including a segment featuring his séance artifact collection on Science Channel’s hit show Oddities. Brandon also appeared on Travel Channel's Ouija-related "Patience Worth" episode of Mysteries at the Museum. In addition, he makes frequent guest appearances in both print interviews and popular radio shows, and Brandon help curate the phenomenally successful Let the Spirit Move You event, the first-of-its-kind Ouija board exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. Brandon is currently working on a picturesque coffee-table book on the subject of spirit communication devices from their early beginnings to their modern equivalents. Titled "Talking Tables & Scribbling Spirits: A Complete History of Spirit Communication Tools," the book is slated for publication in the near future, and includes the most in-depth historical research ever performed on talking boards. Brandon lives in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood in Austin, Texas, with two imps disguised as children, Jack and Elliot, and their porch cat familiar, Ellie Crews.
