'''Fiction:'''
Two stories are presented as part of the Introduction, Interlude and Conclusion, the first giving way to the second halfway through the interlude. The first story is Ravenloft themed and the second is set on Gothic Earth.

The first story revolves around a band of Kargatane agents attempting to penetrate the libraries of Castle Avitus whilst Azalin lies dormant in the wake of the Requiem. Only one agent survives, only to learn that he is not who he thought he was, but a victim of Darkon’s memory-altering powers. After he learns this, the ghostly librarian kills him.

The second story features an incredulous Bram Stoker trying to turn down a novel submission that refers to the “Demiplane of Dread”. Unbeknownst to him, the woman who approaches him is a servitor of Madrigore, a fiend who was imprisoned in the Mists for a time but who has now escaped and seeks to make a home for himself, having subsumed the body of Aleister Crowley.
