Well...I don't really read a lot of the tie in fiction. I read the Dragonlance books when they came out. I read the Gord the Rogue books too.
But I guess I read the Ravenloft books more than anything. Yeah I read all of them.
It is interesting to note that some of the authors of those books would later go on to do bigger and better things.
Christie Golden, Elaine Bergstrom, Laurell K. Hamilton, Tanya Huff, P. N. Elrod, Gene DeWeese, and James Lowder just to name a few.
It's funny but I swear I catch some "Ravenloft-ism" in the Anita Blake books (Laurell K. Hamilton) and in a few of the short stories of P.N. Elrod.
These books were sometimes the only gaming interaction I got it while I was in grad school and had almost no time to play.
Not much about any of them stick out all these year later. I did rather enjoy "I, Strahd", "Tapestry of Dark Souls" and "Death of a Darklord".
The Azalin ones were cool for the Greyhawk ties but I felt the Lord Soth ones were weak. No fault I think of the author, but trying to cram Soth into Ravenloft was a haphazard idea.
