Thumbs all the way up for this mind-blowing medieval horror anthology. This is by far one of the best horror collections I have ever read. Each story brings a new element into the mix, creating a nerve-shredding insomnia-triggering collection recommended not for the faint-hearted. Imagine all the gruesome side of Middle Ages mixed with all the sensitive content you know of and you may get a glimpse of this abomination. The level of creativity and gore is unparalleled, lurking to haunt you in your dreams. I buddy-read this anthology and everyday we read just one story at midnight before bedtime and it created the best effect. Definitely recommended!
