Vermis III – Old Curses & Buried Horrors (Forsaken Edition)

Vermis III – Old Curses & Buried Horrors (Forsaken Edition)

Vermis III – Old Curses & Buried Horrors (Forsaken Edition) is the third volume in the Vermis artbook series by Plastiboo, published by Hollow Press in March 2026. It is a limited hardcover artbook — not a game — conceived as the official guide to a world that does not exist.

About the Work

The Vermis series operates as a sustained act of world-building drawn from the visual language of old dungeon crawler games. Each volume takes the form of a LORE Game Book (loreGB) — a publishing format that frames the work as an artifact of a fictional game, complete with lore, creatures, and environments rendered in Plastiboo's dense, methodical draftsmanship. The third installment turns toward old curses and buried horrors, deepening the series' mythology and pressing further into the question the work has always held open: what remains of a traveler at the end of their journeys.

The Forsaken Edition

The Forsaken Edition is a physically distinct version of the standard release, produced in a larger format with a hard cover and stitched binding. The front cover carries a 3D embossed and debossed relief; the back cover is debossed. A double tissue bookmark in black and green is included with each copy. Offset full-color printing on Magno 170g paper throughout. The print run is limited to 6,000 copies, 1st printing, with a publication date of March 2026.

The Vermis Series

The preceding Forsaken Edition volumes are available alongside this title: Vermis I – Lost Dungeons and Forbidden Woods (Forsaken Edition) and Vermis II – Mist & Mirrors (Forsaken Edition) are the earlier volumes in the same limited hardcover format. The standard edition of this volume is also stocked as Vermis III – Old Curses & Buried Horrors. Standard softcover editions of the earlier titles — Vermis I – Lost Dungeons and Forbidden Woods and Vermis II – Mist & Mirrors — are also available. Further titles in the same vein can be found in the Artbooks & Artist Publications collection.
