After attending a carnival in Khul, the player encounters a strange dying creature who entrusts him with the Aleph, an artefact which allows journeying beyond the limits of space and time. The ultimate goal is the Ziggurat World, where a magician eagerly awaits the Aleph. But dreaded extradimensional creatures, the titular Spectral Stalkers, track the bearer into the various worlds in which he has to travel, but in each of them the player may find items and artefacts, as well as information, which will help him overthrow the mage's scheme to come into the Aleph's possession.

The book begins on the usual Fighting Fantasy setting of Titan, but actually involves the player travelling to a variety of different settings. These settings include other fantasy worlds and even futuristic science-fiction locations.
