If you're hunting for 'Gloomhaven'—whether the novel or the game—you’ve got options. For the game, big retailers like Amazon or Target often stock it, but local board game stores might offer a more personal touch. They sometimes host demo nights, so you can try before you buy. The novel, depending on its rarity, pops up on Barnes & Noble’s shelves or niche online shops like Book Depository. Digital versions? Check Kindle or Audible for reads, Steam or the official publisher’s site for the game. Secondhand markets like eBay or Facebook Marketplace are goldmines for deals, though condition varies. Always peek at seller reviews to dodge scams.
For international shoppers, shipping can be a headache. Some EU-based stores like Philibert specialize in board games and might have stock when others don’t. If you’re after exclusives or expansions, crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter occasionally revive older editions. Libraries sometimes carry the novel too—free if you’re patient. The key is persistence; restocks happen, especially around holidays.
Three spots I’d check: Amazon for quick delivery (though prices fluctuate wildly), your friendly neighborhood board game store (mine had a waiting list), and Powell’s Books for the novel if you’re into physical reads. The game’s official website sometimes sells direct, cutting out middlemen. Don’t overlook Reddit’s board game exchange threads—hardcore fans sell well-maintained copies cheap. Pro tip: Bundle the novel and game if you find a seller; it’s often cheaper.
I snagged my copy of the 'Gloomhaven' game at a local hobby shop—supporting small businesses feels great, and staff usually know their stuff. Online, Miniature Market or CoolStuffInc often have competitive prices. The novel’s trickier; it’s not as widely distributed. I found mine via a used-book site called AbeBooks after weeks of lurking. Digital gamers can hit up Humble Bundle for occasional sales. Physical copies of the game weigh a ton, so factor in shipping costs if buying online. Follow the publisher’s social media for restock alerts; they’re lifesavers.
Try Amazon for convenience or local shops for community vibes. The novel’s on Kindle; the game’s on Steam. That’s my go-to.

Willa Roane dies the same night she catches her boyfriend in bed with her sister.
Instead of waking in peace, she’s dragged onto a ghostly bus and informed—by a mocking intercom—that she’s entered the Survival Game: a twisted show where the dead are thrown into lethal, terrifying worlds for the cruel amusement of an unseen audience. The rule is simple: survive each round… or your soul is erased forever.
Her only ally is Corvin Thorne, the devastatingly beautiful stranger who yanked her off the road and onto the bus. A hybrid vampire–werewolf with a past soaked in blood, Corvin is bound by a wicked secret contract to keep Willa alive… or forfeit his own soul to the game.
As they descend deeper into the nightmare realms—from a monster-ruled Dracula Castle to ruined neon cities—Willa realizes she is the key. The deadly worlds are twisting around her darkest fears and fantasies, turning her own horror stories into elaborate traps. She isn’t just a player; she’s the author of the chaos. And the man sworn to protect her may be the only thing she can’t control.
Now Willa must rely on the dangerous man she’s falling for, a man who swore he would never love again. The heat between them is undeniable, but as their bond deepens, it’s impossible to tell which is more dangerous: the monsters hunting them… or the love that could destroy them both.
Love might be beautiful—but in this game, it’s never sweet.
It’s a weapon, a weakness,
and the one thing that might rewrite the rules of Hell itself: desire.

This author once failed as a heroine… and returned as something entirely different.
Not as a savior.
But as the villain.
And she didn’t come back empty-handed.
She brought secrets.
She brought sins.
She brought a story that was never meant to be read.
Sinners & Saints is not just a collection of dark romance stories—
It is a confession.
A warning.
And a door best left unopened.
Within these pages lie twisted love stories where desire and destruction walk hand in hand, and every choice comes with a cost.
So the question is simple:
Will you turn away…
or step inside anyway?

'Doomhaven' actually started as a critically acclaimed board game before expanding into other media. The original game is a massive, legacy-style dungeon crawler where choices permanently alter the campaign. It’s famous for its deep tactical combat, branching storylines, and reusable stickers that change the game world.
The novel adaptation came later, fleshing out the setting’s lore with original characters while staying true to the game’s grimdark atmosphere. They’re companion pieces—the game lets you shape the narrative, while the novels explore the world’s rich history. Both are worth experiencing if you love dark fantasy.
'Gloomhaven' (note: correcting the title—'Doomhaven' is likely a mix-up) is legendary in our circles. The original game revolutionized dungeon crawlers with its legacy system and deep storytelling. Its first major expansion, 'Forgotten Circles', adds a new character class, scenarios, and enhancements that deepen the lore. Then came 'Frosthaven', a standalone sequel set in a frozen frontier with fresh mechanics like outpost management and seasonal changes.
Smaller expansions like 'Jaws of the Lion' offer streamlined entry points with pre-assembled miniatures and simpler rules. Isaac Childres, the creator, keeps expanding this universe—there’s even a 'Gloomhaven: Second Edition' announced, promising rebalanced gameplay. The community thrives on these updates, dissecting every new enemy type and item card like treasure maps.
The Crookhaven series has been one of my favorite recent discoveries in middle-grade fiction! If you're looking to buy the books, they're widely available both online and in physical stores. Major retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Book Depository carry them in paperback and hardcover. I personally prefer shopping at indie bookshops—sites like Bookshop.org support local stores while offering shipping.
For digital readers, Kindle and Kobo usually have the ebooks, and audiobook fans can check Audible or Libro.fm. Libraries often stock them too if you want to try before buying. The author, J.J. Arcanjo, has a fun online presence, so following their social media might lead to signed copies or special editions popping up in smaller shops!
