Excerpt

Horror at the tabletop is different from horror in every other medium. The audience is not watching something happen to someone else. They are playing a character for whom something is happening, and they are doing it in a room with other people who are also playing, and all of this happens in a collaborative space that is simultaneously fictional and social.
