A Quiet Country Home

Concept: “A polite invitation to stay in a new home results in a run-in with the home's current occupant.”
Content: An investigation for the Mörk Borg hack: Cthork Borg.
Writing: A delightfully understated horror that is just wallpapered enough for the imagination to set in.

A Wizard's Dying Wish and Other Tales

Concept: “A collection of four adventures and five encounter hooks, all created for those gamemasters in need of new ideas to throw at the adventurers.”
Content: A compilation of Philip Reeds pamphlet adventures in a hardcover A5.
Writing: A thick and sturdy scaffold of personalities and events to entertain or eradicate your scvm.

When you can’t hear anything but your breathing, you might be
close to the-”
Content: A Tveland Cabin Crawl.

Art/design: Design elements emphasize a descent into darkness.
Usability: Mini-map, representative spot illustrations, and clean layout aid in table reference. 

Shithole

Concept: “So you’ve finally done it. You got black out drunk and paid that weasel Hraxet for that plot of land with the graves … or was it the dilapidated building across from the butchers … or, well, whatever it is, it’s a shithole and definitely not worth the silver.”
Content: A shithole to place all your iKillya furniture.
Writing: Coarse textured and affectionately antagonistic. 
Art/design: A plaintext document and tables.
Usability: Housing that's so inadequate it’s nearly an adventure in itself. 

The Emperor of Teeth

A weird, bleak encounter in cabin-turned-horror-show
Writing:
Pulls no punches with the body horror and grotesque imagery; payoff is grimly humorous
Art/design:
Available in pamphlet and Album crawl version, which is read counterclockwise

Page numbers help reading the pamphlet digitally; the Album Crawl version is challenging in either medium

Unholy Night

Concept: “The house is an old stone and wood structure. Icicles line the eaves – glittering in the firelight from within. The smell of burning oak fills the air and fills you with hope. Shelter. Warmth…..maybe even food.”
Content:
A frozen, Yule-themed adventure filled with murderous holiday cheer
Writing:
Provides lots of descriptive text for the GM to use and adapt

Minimal mechanics; emphasizes interaction and narrative-building

Wind Fetter

Has pretty comprehensive descriptions with some vivid, detailed imagery

Mostly oriented toward ease of use, but contains some cool visual text on the cover
Usability:
Straightforward with enough variability to keep it from being completely linear
