Howls from the Dark Ages

I love a good short fiction collection and Howls from the Dark Ages didn't disappoint. Editors [a:P.L. McMillan 14159052 P.L. McMillan https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1606412560p2/14159052.jpg] and [a:Solomon Forse 21229584 Solomon Forse https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1648544619p2/21229584.jpg] have done a brilliant job pulling together a wonderfully diverse range of voices and narrative styles in this beautiful, haunting, and sometimes downright harrowing collection of medieval horror fiction.I'm hesitant to list favorites because I enjoyed so many of these stories, but [a: Cody Goodfellow 18841 Cody Goodfellow https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1334864585p2/18841.jpg]'s “The Mouth of Hell”, [a:Michelle Tang 7555434 Michelle Tang https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1561144561p2/7555434.jpg]'s “A Dowry for Your Hand”, [a:Ethan Yoder 22022465 Ethan Yoder https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s “Deus Vult”, [a: C.B. Jones 21671365 C.B. Jones https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1626718027p2/21671365.jpg]' “The Forgotten Valley”, and [a: Brian Evenson 48355 Brian Evenson https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1237495626p2/48355.jpg]'s “The Fourth Scene” really stood out for me.At times thrilling, haunting, gruesome, and heart-wrenching, I loved my tour through these dark medieval tales. This anthology is well worth a read and I've now got a list of new-to-me storytellers to keep an eager eye out for.
