The Oubliette

Sat, 20 Apr 2019 00:00:49 +0300

With the death of Ruprekt Matkosen, his daughter, Ashielle, is now the Lord Governor of Ceocan. Her father's murderers still lurk in the shadows, threatening not only her rule but every mortal soul under her protection. Even her own people cannot be trusted – any one of them may be part of the poisonous plot to destroy her bloodline. Deep beneath the palace, locked away from all human contact, Ashielle finds a weapon unlike any other: a monster, more adept at hunting in the darkness than any assassin. Allying with such a horror is surely blasphemy, but with doom skulking around every corner, Ashielle is forced to revive an ancient pact with the beast. Yet she soon discovers that her family's mortal enemies are not the only evil that hungers to consume her.

Unholy Tales Of Horror & Woe From The Imperium

Sat, 26 Feb 2022 14:25:16 +0200

Amidst the bloody wars, fanatical cults, and mad tyrants of the Imperium, there lurks a far quieter horror. Valgaast is an entity that compels and corrupts. Darker than the pits of hell, incomprehensible as death, it seeps into the hearts and minds of those weakened by misfortune. A premature heiress grieving the loss of her family. A bleak man of faith with unquenchable desires. A woman whose broken memories replay terrible violence. A little town left to rot in a sun-scorched wasteland. Such victims are easy prey for a being like Valgaast – and through its malicious intent, they are pushed to their very limits.CONTENTS– The Oubliette by J C Stearns– Sepulturum by Nick Kyme– The Deacon of Wounds by David Annandale– The Bookkeeper's Skull by Justin D Hill
