Bringers of Hell
The New Testament tells of the Four Horsemen bringing four terrors upon humanity. In BRINGERS OF HELL, four masters of horror tell stand-alone tales inspired by Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death.
In "Ground Zero," Eric Butler weaves a bloody, suspenseful story of how a global pandemic begins. "The Dogs of War" is Chris Miller's action-packed gorefest, pitting a ruthless military tyrant against heavily-armed religious radicals. Patrick C. Harrison III delivers a bleak vision of a world without resources in "The Grass, It Grows." And in "An Inconvenient Death," M Ennenbach tells us just how much destructive fun Death can have.

Four incredible stories from four incredible authors showcase the end of the world. I knew I had to read “Bringers of Hell” after binging a fantasy/romance book series about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I needed a dark and gritty palette cleanser to get back to the horror side of things.
Without further ado I’ll break down the intense tales within:
“We’ll be a household name one day, and this will be ground zero.”
Pestilence: “Ground Zero” by Eric Butler was brutal. A young man goes to a strange apartment complex to pick up a senior and take him to his Dr appointment. Suddenly they become trapped in the Zelus Enterprises owned building and people are starting to die… and worse. This was equal amounts disgusting and terrifying. I just kept holding out hope for the few who weren’t getting sick.
“Frozen pools of black blood formed coronas around the dead, like a macabre mosaic of saints.”
War: “The Dogs of War” by Chris Miller jumps right into the action with a battle fought between a new world militia and a cult. I wasn’t sure if I’d end up caring about anyone in this story as they all seemed in the wrong, but Celeste and Chance and the hounds had me almost in tears as they fought for their lives and freedom.
“There was only the gray sky and the gray trees and the gray people. And there was the green grass. Because it grew. When nothing else would, the grass grew.”
Famine: “The Grass, it Grows” by Patrick C. Harrison III had me in my feelings over the main characters, and that ending?! DANG! It was such a weird and moving tale; I just want to hug Flint and make sure he has all the pineapple and safety he could ever want. In this entry you’ll find a band of folks trying their best to keep their health and minds afloat in the dark days after The Great Dying.
“Did you seriously bring a bag of fish for the sacrifice? You think Thanatos will deem this sacrifice worthy?”
Death: “An Inconvenient Death” by M. Ennenbach was last, but certainly not least! In fact, I’d say this was absolutely the best story to round out the quartet in this collection. More humour, more splatterpunk, and despite the topic, a bit more light hearted. Thanatos and Albert were quite the duo, and I enjoyed the craziness that Mike got up to after signing a deal with the reaper.
These stories were full of heart and surprises; dark and depressing settings were balanced with characters that had love, hope, resilience, and humour. Such a fantastic read.

I've read books by all of these authors and they have all been awesome reads, so I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into more from them. And to have them all in one place….perfect! 🖤
This book consists of four tales, each influenced by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. These stories of war, death, famine and pestilence are all standalones and can be read in whichever order takes your fancy. I personally read them in the order they are in the book because my OCD told me to!
Four very different stories and styles brought together in the author's abilities to draw you in and keep a tight hold of you throughout every word! Stories that made me shout out loud, gave me goosebumps, had me laughing and falling in love (Albert🧡) Stories that are simply brilliant!
As always I will write a few words for each one….
GROUND ZERO by Eric Butler…. Chris is a Door to Door/Uber driver, with instructions to pick up a fare by the name of Otto Media, and to get him to the doctors. But if only it was as simple as that….
Strange things are afoot in the apartment building where Otto resides, a concept building, the first super-efficient apartment complex run by Zelus Enterprises. His neighbours are odd. They all seem to be suffering with the same weird, gross affliction, but what the fuck is it? Why, and how?
A really tense, eerie feeling wraps itself around you as you read this, it also made me gag. A lot! Full of action from the off, quickly spiraling out of control, and testing your sanity, like The Incredible Melting Man meets Die Hard! 😁😂
THE DOGS OF WAR by Chris Miller…. After the horrific and senseless war was fought, some people decided to set up home far away from the famine and sickness left behind, to live their lives simply, as followers of The Quiet One at the Rock Hill Ranch and to seek the Path of Silence. But all isn't as it seems and soon their faith is gone, replaced with fear, desperation and horror.
Celeste, on realising how easily they had all been taken in by, and believed devoutly in, their prophet, is saddened and determined to make things right. Their sanctuary quickly becomes their Hell. When the war is brought back to them, she vows to defend it with everything she has.
Captain Riggs on the other hand, is made of stern stuff, and has stern beliefs of his own. He knows the truth behind the reverend’s actions and wants him to pay for them. Riggs also knows that the commune does not get sick like the rest of them, and he wants to know why!
Chilling! So much death, destruction and heartbreak. Each side seems equally matched and equally determined, and Hell bent on destroying each other. As if the pandemic wasn't horrific and deadly enough, the war it creates between the two and their modern weapons is decidedly more so..
Fast-paced and rammed with action. Brutal and blood soaked with an utterly, utterly chilling end, this left an imprint burned into my soul!
THE GRASS, IT GROWS by Patrick C Harrison III…. Stump, Carolina and Flint are survivors, barely. Survivors, along with the grass, which is almost the only other thing to survive these end days, aptly named The Great Dying. The grass is also the only thing left to eat, but it's inedible and will cause a very painful death. The only other thing left to eat, would be each other….
Stump yearns to head back West where he grew up, knowing there won't be much of it left, but wanting to see out his last days there all the same. The world is dying and there's little left to do but survive as long as possible without eating, or being eaten.
Just as they are resigning themselves to the fact that this is it, this is their lives now, an unexpected seed of hope sprouts in the strangest of places…..
Utterly chilling with an awesome conclusion, there was a really profound and eerie vibe throughout. Tense anticipation, dread, fear, hunger and survivors guilt woven throughout lots of action.
AN INCONVENIENT DEATH by Mike Ennenbach…. This starts off awesome and just continues with that theme, amongst the rituals, sacrifices, blood, guts, cool cats and sheer horror!
It kicks off with a group of four, 30 something men, naked around a campfire, enacting a ritual to summon Death himself. It works! Kinda…. but sacrifices are made, and Mark gets to experience Death first hand. And then escape Death, barely. But Death follows, along with Albert 🧡, until he gets what he came for, no matter who, or what, gets in his way.
After a Freaky body swap, 3 days of insanity ensue, and when Mark and Albert partake in some OG Blobert, shit gets really wild! And hilarious!
Nothing could be worse than Death though right? Try telling Thanatos that and see where it gets you!
So much fun and brutal as Hell, this was as funny as it was dark. This had so much of Mike’s personality in it, it's perfect! 💜 Like an extremely fun acid trip! Or maybe mushrooms??😉
Death, drugs and hilarity….and purple, and cats, and Oreo’s and all the good stuff!
Also…. Yes, I did imagine the naked 4 were the 4 authors of this book, and yes, I do believe this is exactly the kind of thing they get up to on their meetups, and yes, I would love to be a fly on that wall…. OK, I'm letting my imagination get away from me now, so I'm gonna stop right here!
Go buy the book, go on, git!! 😁

The Four Horsemen of Texas recently dropped Bringers of Hell. Four Tales of Horror. With this lineup I couldn’t wait to see what they came up with for War, Famine, Pestilence and Death. I thought each one was fantastic, so I won’t be picking a standout for this collection. Just know it’s definitely worth a read and maybe even a few gags.
Ground Zero by Eric Butler
Gross, gory, suspenseful and ends with the unexpected. Great opener for the book!
The Dogs of War by Chris Miller
Lots of action and destruction in this one and an ending I won’t forget.
The Grass, it Grows by Patrick C. Harrison III
This one has a unique yet creepy way of the world resetting itself after the earth is basically destroyed. Very intriguing!
An Inconvenient Death by M. Ennenbach
Ok, this one was trippy as hell! The soul swapping was an absolute blast. I can only imagine what I’d get up to in this situation.
Don’t wait to add this one to your TBR!

Bibliophilia Templum review
https://bibliophiliatemplum.wordpress.com/2024/10/08/bringers-of-hell/
In Bringers of Hell, the Four Horsemen of Texas—Eric Butler, Chris Miller, Patrick C. Harrison III, and M Ennenbach—bring you four intense and unique tales inspired by the Four Horsemen of the biblical apocalypse. Each of these masters of the craft has penned an impactful story of dread and atrocity in their own style.
PESTILENCE: “Ground Zero” by Eric Butler is a fantastic read, creepy, suspenseful, evocative, horrifying. The story smoothly goes from intrigue to elegantly graphic horror with chilling subtext on the power and corruption of the medical industry. It has engaging characters, gripping terror, and the twist is amazing.
WAR: “The Dogs of War” by Chris Miller is a brutally impactful story that manages to evocatively encompass multiple aspects, perspectives, and levels of war in general. From the terror and rage to the violence and gore, this one hits like a physical and mental gut punch.
FAMINE: “The Grass, It Grows” by Patrick C. Harrison III is a horrifying dystopian tale taking place during a global famine. This wrenching story speaks softly to humanity’s disregard for resources while it follows three moving characters through desperation and determination as the world itself continues to change around them.
DEATH: “An Inconvenient Death” by M Ennenbach is a darkly humorous, gruesome, twisted take on Death taking a holiday. This is a fun and irreverent read that speaks to choices, consequences, and the enjoyment of simpler pleasures. But it’s also graphically disturbing, just in a fun extreme horror way.
Bringers of Hell is a powerful collection of masterfully told stories that explore the base apocalyptic horrors of our existence in graphic, grisly, and provocative fashion. This is a Splatterpunk must-read.

The Four Horsemen of Texas knocked it out of the park with this anthology. Four novellas, one for each of the Horsemen of the apocalypse. All of these authors are excellent on their own, but together they are a force to be reckoned with.
Ground Zero by Eric Butler
In typical Butler fashion you're treated to a story that is intense and extremely creepy. The atmosphere he created will definitely raise your blood pressure. It amped up my anxiety to 100. What I love/hate about Butler's stories is he gives you hope then snatches it away. Butler is also classy with his disgusting descriptions of the disease that is the center of this story. Gross, but not over the top.
The Dogs of War by Chris Miller
This story read to me more of a brutal military thriller. I kept getting visions of the movie Red Dawn while reading because the ones defending themselves are children/young adults. As much as I hated the character of Riggs, I could appreciate how depraved and brutal he was. The ending had me in tears.
The Grass, It Grows by Patrick C Harrison III
I was not prepared for this story at all. The three main characters wrapped themselves around my heart and squeezed. A very unique take on famine and the aftermath of The Great Dying. I'm left with questions. What becomes of Carolina and Flint? What exactly are the Greens?
And once again my heart broke and I read the last few sentences through tears.
An Inconvenient Death by M Ennenbach
I'm glad this story was last. I needed an emotional cleanse that only Ennenbach can provide. His mastery of subtle comedic horror makes everything ok. It's brutal, bloody, funny, cerebral and just such a pleasure to read. How can he make a skeleton have so much personality?? I hope Ennenbach lets Thanatos know I will always have Oreos for him.

Take four fantastic authors, task each one with writing a story based on one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the end result is one damned good book. Trying to rate each story separately would probably result in a review so long even the authors would get bored reading it. So I'll just try to briefly describe each one:
Pestilence (Eric Butler) - Like a shorter, darker version of a Stephen King novel.
War (Chris Miller) - Intense, especially once the battle gets rolling. Start it when you have time to read it straight through because you won't want to stop.
Famine (Patrick C. Harrison III) - A brilliant cross between "The Last of Us" and a really good episode of "Twilight Zone."
Death (M ENNENBACH) - Who knew Death could be so funny, and an expert on "Freaky Friday."
Pestilence (Eric Butler) - Like a shorter, darker version of a Stephen King novel.
War (Chris Miller) - Intense, especially once the battle gets rolling. Start it when you have time to read it straight through because you won't want to stop.
Famine (Patrick C. Harrison III) - A brilliant cross between "The Last of Us" and a really good episode of "Twilight Zone."
Death (M ENNENBACH) - Who knew Death could be so funny, and an expert on "Freaky Friday."

First, let me say how much I love the cover of this book. So I bought a physical copy. Four authors. Four terrors. There's even the shape of the state of TX on the back with a 4H in it. I was stationed in TX for a bit (Hood in Killeen) many many moons ago. So I guess TX was my home (a familiar feeling) at one time. And the 4H is hilarious to me (not in a bad way) but my primary home was KY. So 4H had a different meaning. A youth thing (Head, Heart, Hands, Health, agriculture, etc...) I prefer the 4 Horsemen of Texas approach in my adult years. Also, the paperback was thick enough to keep me busy, but also small enough in size to throw in my purse to read in waiting rooms, public downtime, etc.... Yeah, I love having the physical copy.
As far as the story (or should I say stories?)
Pestilence
War
Famine
Death
What a variety, coming from 4 different authors. Each story was different in its own way, but each one amusing. Personally, war is a soft spot for me, so that wasn't my fave, but that's a me thing. Other readers will love it.
The last story (written by M Ennenbach) story kept me lol'ing.
The first story (written by Eric Butler) was creepy and creative.
And the third story (written by PC3) was a perfect of example of something I've always said and believed. That people are the worst monsters.
This book brought me joy. Hence the 5 stars

I just finished my last story from this and I gotta say, wooowee, was that a fantastic collection.
You've got it all, Pestilence has the grossest scene in an old folk's home I've read, I'm surprised it didn't kill me.
Death takes us on a thrill ride Freaky Friday style (the original)
Famine is a creative and unique post apocalyptic look at how the world rights itself that still has my jaw on the floor.
And War, well, that ending sure did blow me away.
You can read these stories in any order. I recommend in this order, but you do you. So long as you read it.
