clotalksbooks's review against another edition

adventurous dark fast-paced

3.5

A nice mix of short stories giving you a taster of different parts of Warhammer. Here is a little review for each...

The Place of Pain and Healing - very good, you felt the terror and loss. Made me want to pick up the Minka Lesk novels.

Monsters - interesting idea, makes you think. Who are the real monsters?

Amor Fati - goodness this was visceral. Had characters I already knew a bit about so it was good to have another little snippet.

The Vintage - such a sense of dread. You could really picture it all (and it was pretty gross visuals haha).

Unnatural Causes - possibly my favourite. Makes you reflect how far you would go to protect those you love.
