The Devil Take You: 14 Tales of Medieval Horror
When Rome died, she left behind a rotting corpse…
…a memory of the light that was her beating heart…
…but something stirred from amidst her bones…
A new age
but not of light.
The Devil Take You is an anthology of medieval horror comprising 14 tales set in the world Rome left behind. Join us in the plague-infested streets of London and the howling expanse of the Carpathian Steppes. Explore the once-hallowed halls of fortified monasteries and bear witness to the sacrilegious Vikings who would plunder them. From the macabre corpse collectors of Al-Waset to vicious highwaymen and their blasphemous secrets, The Devil Take You offers a delicious glimpse into the hellish world of the Middle Ages. Within these pages, life is fleeting, but death is never slow.
Featuring tales by C.L. Werner, Coy Hall, Anya Leigh Josephs, Benedict Anning, Phil Keeling, Brent Salish, Amanda M. Blake, Stephanie Ellis, Romy Wenzel, Morgan Melhuish, Gerald Jensen, Justin Fillmore, Dwayne Minton, and Brian Crenshaw.

Great reading for the Halloween Season
All 14 tales of medieval horror were well done and enjoyable. Its rare that there is a multi author short story collection (with double digit stories) without at least one tale that just didn't hit for me, but this one did it.
Highly recommended, basically read it in two sittings which is rare for me since I usually just read a tale at a time between novels.

Interesting, evil, historical, imaginative short stories. Definitely a good read. Some stories are gruesome. Some scary and all good.
