Howls from the Dark Ages: An Anthology of Medieval Horror by P.L. McMillan, Solomon Forse
4.0
This is a great anthology and the 2nd one from the HOWL Society (Horror-Obsessed Writing and Literature Society) that I have read.
HOWL Society is a Horror community located on Discord.
Like most anthologies, there is a range of different writing styles, and feels, some I loved, others not so much, but overall I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves historical horror.
I especially loved these stories
The Crowing by Caleb Stephens - about Old Crows (witches) who hunt and kidnap children
In Thrall to This Good Earth by Hailey Piper - about a baron who puts a bounty on the head of the ghost who howls outside his castle at night.
The Mouth of Hell by Cody Goodfellow - A page enters the mouth of hell to save his master knight.
The Fourth Scene by Brian Evenson - A king sends a knight to retrieve the fourth scene of a mysterious tapestry which may save his life.
A Dark Quadrivium by David Worn - this one is about a mysterious text that may bring forth hell on earth.
