But one thing I do have to say is the Audiobook ATE DOWN. Like the narrators put their whole pussy into it, there is background noises and music (in the first two stories). The narrators put on an array of accents and they are all very talented. Cudos to Anna Caparo and Scott Miller.
Now let me talk about these stories individually
His Black Tongue:
The Bone Fields:
The Knights of the Non-Euclidean Table:
Overall, I say this was descent. This shows me that historical horror could be in my wheel house and that I want to check out more of it.
Final Score: 7/10

Moderate: Gore
Minor: Child death

I enjoyed the third story most and think it would be a rad concept for a DnD campaign, but each story can be summed up as such: 3/4 long winded exposition, one big hellmouth, and a LOT of swordfighting and monologues til a lackluster finish.
I really wanted to like this one, but I don’t find any of the concepts particularly scary and the action scenes really left something to be desired.
