It’s time for the Angry (and Scary!) Video Game Nerd to rise again as James Rolfe’s Gnome Cave is now available physically and digitally through Kindle. The book comes from the Angry Video Game Nerd creator as it weaves a story of conquering the past while revisiting a nightmarish world.
About Gnome Cave
Gnome Cave is a tale of terror spanning three decades, as a group of childhood friends revisit an infamous abandoned amusement park to face their fears in a bloodcurdling story of redemption.
“It was very satisfying writing this all out and letting my imagination run wild,” said Rolfe in a video announcing the book’s release. “Unlike making a movie, there’s no concern for budget—you know, words are free. No location hunting, no effects. You don’t have to think about logistics, solve a whole bunch of problems, or explain what you want from people. This was just me at my computer, with a cup of coffee, day after day. And what you get is my total, uncompromised vision—straight from my mind to the page.”
Thirty years ago, Dante and his friends dared to ride the notorious Gnome Cave—a theme park attraction known for its cheerful gnomes and infamous for its terrifying finale: a dragon so feared, it led to the ride’s permanent closure. When Dante’s own fear stopped his group from confronting the beast, their adventure ended prematurely, leaving him with a lifetime of regret.
Now, determined to rewrite the past, Dante reunites his childhood friends to explore the now-abandoned park and finally finish the ride. But what has been lurking in the shadows for decades is far more sinister than childhood nightmares. Dante’s redemption may come at a horrifying cost.
Growing up doesn’t mean outgrowing the fear.
From the imagination of filmmaker James Rolfe, Gnome Cave is a haunting story that will take you back to the past… in a very different way.
The news about this release comes hot of the heels of the upcoming Angry Video Game Nerd video game re-release next month! Stay tuned for more gaming news here on Miso!
