Howls from the Dark Ages: An Anthology of Medieval Horror by P.L. McMillan, Solomon Forse
4.0
You had me at medieval horror, ha. I was thrilled to receive an ARC of this collection from HOWL Society, and I'm glad to say it was just as good as I was hoping it would be! Overall, a really solid collection of stories. My favorites were "Palette" by J.K. Kiefer; "Brother Cornelius" by Peter Ong Cook; "The Mouth of Hell" by Cody Goodfellow; and my absolute favorite "A Dark Quadrivium" by David Worn. Besides the stories themselves, I loved the framing device of the reader being shown exhibits in a museum of frightening artifacts. And the historical artwork/portraits of the authors and artists at the end was a treat!
I'd recommend this collection to any horror fan, and especially any interested in historical or medieval horror.
