Good, creepy stuff, with notes of body horror. A pity it's so short - this part of the world would reward further exploration, I think. Still, definitely a big step or two up from the regular RPG-related fare.

24. The protagonist is an intriguing character sort of reminiscent of Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory. Humorous and gory.

While I enjoyed it, particularly the look at Nisroch and it's contrast to Pangolais, it felt really short - like there should've been another act to it. But! It's certainly still worth a read! It's only four chapters, and reads easy.
