Howls from the Dark Ages is a collection of 18 stories that surround one of my favorite periods of history, The Middle Ages.  The stories in this book are diverse, queer, and frankly, very original.  I don't think I've read any stories like the ones featured in Howls from the Dark Ages.

Some of my favorite stories include:
  • Angelus by Philippa Evans
  • Palette by J.L. Kiefer
  • In Thrall to This Good Earth by Hailey Piper
  • A Dowry for Your Hand by Michelle Tang
  • The Lady of Leer Castle by Christopher O'Halloran
  • Schizzare by Bridget D. Brave
  • White Owl by Stevie Edwards
  • A Dark Quadrivium by David Worn

There are all kinds of themes featured in these stories, including religion, warfare, Crusades, folklore, mushrooms (!!!), and sacred texts.  Don't forget the butt trumpet.

There are many talented authors in this anthology, many I haven't read before.  I can't wait to check out more of their work.

Thank you to Howl Society and Solomon Forse for sending me a copy of Howls from the Dark Ages for my honest review.  This anthology releases on May 12th.
