This series is made in Spain, and I can't not recommend it. By the look it is as simple as those Choose You Own Adventure / Time Machine / Endless Quest books, but faithful to its source materials defenitely made for adults. Not that it'd be exceptionaly gory, but the language, tyle, and execution are way more mature than what you got used to.
They mostly adapted stories of Lovecraft - with satisfying branching of the original storlines -, but they also made adouble-lenght coop-written original adventure. Through the books they also improved on their system. Instead of the basic choose your own adventure (and that catchphrase is actualy true here!), they slowly invented such features as inventory, puzzles, cthultist points (I think it's similar to the RPG's sanity points, but I'm still reading the 6th book), illustration-paragraphs and more.
The books come in paper and hard cover, later has illustrated beastiary, and I feel better cover-graphics.
And they just start to develop the second series, LINK, if I'm allowed. Notice, they got Jonathan Green to support the project!

Thanks for the heads-up. I enjoy Lovecraft and also gamebooks so this is really interesting. My only concern is that 100 paragraphs seems a bit short, though I suppose most of Lovecraft’s stories were pretty short too.

I have to say, I'm a fan of Lovecraft, but since my favourite story is The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, I've always thought his dreamlands would be the best setting for a gamebook.
