Castle of Blood by C.L. Werner
4.0
A dark and often disturbing Age of Sigmar murder mystery packed full of despicable characters, ingeniously lethal traps and a hideous daemonic threat. In the town of Ravensbach, eight families receive invitations to join the Count von Koeterberg for dinner at the ominous iron castle of Mhurghast, each wondering why they have been invited. Once gathered together, the bitter old Count reveals his motivation, setting loose an ancient daemon whose terrifying presence turns the families against each other and even themselves in the name of long-desired revenge.
It's horror which isn’t exactly scary, but more disturbing. There’s blood and gore aplenty, but the emphasis is more on tension, desperation and a fair number of pretty unpleasant choices being made as characters are forced to decide between survival for themselves or for others. If you enjoy a bleak, bloody tale of vengeance, desperation and futile heroism then chances are you’ll find plenty to enjoy here.
