推薦序
Creating a refreshing blend of realities, author Daniel Chuang evinces a keen sense of imagination in Game Terror, his second novel. In Craven's Arcade, the players and the arcade's eponymous
owner are no less fictional--or no less real--than Monty the Magnificent, the magician hero of a video game, and his companions. What starts off as a Halloween party turns into more tricks than
treats, and the reader is slowly enmeshed in the story. Game Terror just might be the perfect book for gamers.

摘要
Craven’s Arcade is one of the most well-known arcades in the United States. Although it has only a limited number of games, they are all quite well-known and popular.
There’s one game that is incredibly popular. That game is called Monty the Magnificent. It stars Monty, who is a magician and the game’s main character.
One day Monty notices that Mr. Craven, the owner of the arcade, is behaving rather strangely. He’s always in the arcade when it’s closed, and goes into a strange room every few
minutes.
That’s when Monty and his friends get involved in a mystery. A big mystery. His game and the other games in the arcade may be threatened. Will he and his friends solve the mystery? Or will
it be game over for everyone in the arcade?
