A bit more about each of the two books below:

​Abyssal Archive: The Mythology of Dark Souls​ has been called "Glorious... a bible for Souls fans,” by Kotaku and “a collector’s dream” by GamesRadar. A collaboration with Dark Souls scholar Lokey, Abyssal Archive features the most comprehensive fan analysis of Dark Souls' mythos ever undertaken. The book sets out to pay tribute to Miyazaki's legendary game by crafting something that embodies the same care and attention to detail that makes Dark Souls itself such a peerless work of art.

​
You Died: The Dark Souls Companion​ is “the definitive Dark Souls book” (Edge Magazine) – a love letter to the original game by FromSoftware and a guided tour of its world. The book leverages interviews with the game's creator, Hidetaka Miyazaki, as well as original analysis to uncover the mystery of what makes Dark Souls so riveting, enduring and influential.
