Summary: Role Playing Games, Anyone?
Comment: Written back in the days when Dungeons & Dragons was at it's most popular, this is a book about a teenage boy who gets caught up in the character he plays in a role playing game based on Irish mythology. It is a thrill of a book with many twists and turns. The lead character may just be a bit insane but he is not completely off his rocker. The things he sees may not be real but there is deffinately something strange going on in this town he and his mother have come to live in. John Coyne puts together a great tale of seemings and dreamings. What is real? What is fantasy? "Hobgoblin" comes to a close with a very satisfying end. All is explained, there are no loose ends. I highly recomend this book.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I read this book three years ago and I loved it. At the time I was really into Magic the Gathering and this book really interested me. John Coyne is a great author. I have been trying to get a copy of this book for a while now and i still can't get a hold of one. How sad... (*SIGH*)

Summary: Hobgoblin by John Coyne
Comment: I got Hobgoblin back in the early eighties, when it first came out, and I still have my original book. At the time there was a huge amount of paranoia revolving around roleplaying games, and people were convinced that roleplaying was either Satanic or caused psychological breakdowns, especially in particularly sensitive young adults. And who would indulge in a fantasy roleplaying game other than a sensitive young adult unsatisfied with his real life?
I loved the book back when I was a kid for the imagery and intrigue. Today I actually recommended it to a roleplaying friend who's a bit too grown up to appreciate the suspense felt by a kid, but I'm sure it'd bring back memories of roleplaying and the concerns of that time. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in roleplaying, fantasy, or just a flashback to the early eighties.
In fact, I may read it again since I have it out. After I repair the spine.
