A distressful, nightmarish endeavor across Hell on Earth where the only thing worse than the Black Death you left behind are the demons you encounter along the way and the cataclysm at your journey's end.

This is medieval horror at its finest.

The Builders by Daniel Polansky is a sharp, violent little tale about revenge, loyalty, and the ghosts of lost wars.

If you enjoy grim, morally gray β€œlast job” stories with a creative twist and a cast of vividly drawn antiheroes, this novella offers a dark and distinctive ride.

Book Review: A Black Dragon on Red by P.L. Stuart

This is a book with an ending that will stick with me for a long time. It’s dark, full of political maneuvering, and has one heck of a twist at the end.
