{{Trophy/MediEvil|Morten Would Be Proud}}}}{{Q|During your travels through Gallowmere, you will collect many items. To see your items, or to use one, review your inventory.<br><br>In it, you will also find your Book of Gallowmere, which will keep a record of the denizens you've encountered, and bestow you with keen insights that only a disembodied voice could provide.|A book in [[Dan's Crypt]], explaining how to access the Book of Gallowmere.}}
The '''Book of Gallowmere''' was a record of all [[Gallowmere]] inhabitants encountered by [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] in 1386.

==Gameplay==
{{Q|Enemies causing you trouble? Check out the Book of Gallowmere. It may not help you in combat, but you can learn their embarrassing secrets.|Loading screen hint.}}
The book contains information about the denizens of [[Gallowmere]]; the friendlies, enemies, and bosses [[Dan]] has encountered. An entry is obtained after first interacting with a denizen. This ranges from talking to defeating them in battle.
===Entries===
{{Main|Book of Gallowmere/Transcript|l1=Transcript of the Book of Gallowmere}}
Four entries are available from the start:
====Friendlies====
===== [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] =====
Our bone-headed protagonist, born again into this Age of Wonders! In life he was just the worst: a coward, a cheat, a philatelist (or was it a philanderer... I don't recall). But either way, he seems to have woken up... different?

Perhaps he can redeem himself? Zarok should be more careful where he aims his dark magic.

===== [[Morten the Earthworm]] =====
Morten was so happy when Dan died. Surely, he initially had a lot of housework to do, but now he's got the place to himself, and just how he likes it.

Of course, Dan coming back to life was a bit of a shock, but Morten will do anything he can to keep his home-buddy safe (and get him back to the earthy darkness as quickly as possible).

===== [[Information Gargoyles]] =====
Can you imagine how boring it would be to be a sentient being - wise even - and be stuck permanently to a brick wall? No wonder these guys are grumpy.

They pass time by eavesdropping, gossiping, and bad-mouthing any bizarre looking adventurers that might pass by.

====Bosses====
=====[[Zarok]]=====
It is said that Zarok's preoccupation with necromancy stems from an obsession to resurrect his childhood puppy.

Let's just reflect for a moment: isn't that just tragic? All this poor, troubled soul has ever wanted is to command the forces of darkness, enslave mankind, and play ball one last time with dear old [[Mr Snuffy]].
==Behind the scenes==
===Development===
There is no equivalent item in the original ''MediEvil''. However, there was a similar bestiary in ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'' in the form of [[An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters]], a book that can be accessed from [[Dan's Crypt (MediEvil: Resurrection)|Dan's Crypt]].

In a PlayStation Underground video comparing the original [[The Asylum Grounds|Asylum Grounds]] level and the remade one, [[Nick Accordino]] revealed that the book's entries were written with input from [[Chris Sorrell]], the original game's director and producer.<ref>[https://youtu.be/9ymgYCVbJWg?t=1860 ''MediEvil'' – 1998 vs. 2019 Gameplay Comparison | PlayStation Underground], 31:00.</ref>
