In the Name of the Worm #1
His Black Tongue
There is no plague in Enfaire…
Dead things have been found in the fields of Enfaire, a God-fearing town north of Reams. Not just dead things but twisted forms… unholy shapes. And there are rumours, too—of a blasphemous union and of fell creatures that haunt the night. Yet, even as plague and witch pyres blacken the sky, the town remains untouched by the malady that has already claimed thousands and will claim thousands more.
It is here, in Enfaire, that an old Franciscan friar and his ward take shelter from a storm. It is here, in a little town on the edge of civilization, that they will have their faith truly tested.
His Black Tongue is a tale of medieval horror, plunging the reader into the plague-torn land of 14th century France, when pestilence and death walked hand-in-hand, and life was little more than a sputtering candle, waiting to be put out. But there are worse things than death, than sickness and decay… and it comes upon leathery black wings.
Includes The Bone Fields novella and the short stories The Knights of the Non-Euclidean Table and Necropolis.

I’m afraid this is going to be an unkind review. My complaints are twofold: the writing, and the constant anachronisms. This is supposedly a horror, but the writing is so juvenile as to almost be cartoonish. There is no suspense, no pacing. The book seems to constantly be checking if you’re scared yet and the answer is: no. A villain monologues with all the aplomb of a Scooby Doo climax. The main characters themselves talk like they are in a Sherlock Holmes novel, using words that were not coined until several centuries later (“Resurrectionist”, for example) and about concepts that were not popularised in that region of the world for quite a time yet. (A lot of the author’s ideas of witches and witchcraft seem singularly inspired by an American perspective). I had a sinking feeling in my gut the moment I stumbled on three seperate similes in the first two paragraphs. Stick with “Between Two Fires”, I’m afraid.

This is probably the best audiobook I have ever listened to [PETITION to have this duo narrate every book from here on produced]. THAT being said, I would have LOVED to see that first story (The Bone Fields) fleshed out a bit further (maybe that twist ending built up a bit more) ...and the second two stories left out (although I really did like the ending of the second story).
Reviews below for each individual story...
THE BONE FIELDS NOVELLA: 5⭐
◘ Medieval horror.
◘ WOWWWW ...this audio is fantastic 🔥 I feel like I'm watching a movie.
◘ This story makes me really uncomfortable 😕 the way women of this time could be so easily accused by anyone for almost anything. And be beaten, killed. This book just really drives home the notions held that women were witches that could wield evil. The word "witch" to be hurled around like a promise of retaliation. It makes me sick.
◘ I won't deny that the horror behind these witches is certainly scary. It's only the religious fervor and persecution of women in the name of god that hurts my heart.
◘ This really could be a movie. The production behind this audiobook just WOW
◘ This is story is WILD.
◘ THAT TWIST!!!
◘ UMMM... can I get a sequel please? I have so many questions 😅
LONG SHIPS: 3⭐
◘ Viking horror.
◘ The nouns are extremely difficult to follow and differentiate so I can't seem to remember who is who or where they are.
◘ This whole slave thing is icky. 😬
◘ Kind of reminds me of "The Descent" in this cave scene.
◘ Just a bit over the top for me. Good ending though.
The knights of the non-Euclidean table: 2⭐?
◘ Witcher vibes. Boring.

Certainly different!
These short stories were a bit like the proverbial Curate's Egg, something for everyone. The first story, His Black Tongue, was my favourite. It was set in 13th century France, plague ridden and beset by witches and demons. A jolly good tale of the virtues of medieval Catholicism with a wicked twist at the end.
Other tales of horror varied from reimagined Arthurian legends, Viking exploits on a remote island that should not exist, Danish folk-lore (echoes of Rosemary's Baby) and a couple of dark sci-fi tales.
All in all this was an enjoyable and worthwhile read.

The first story reads like catholic anime. After a strong start I couldn’t finish it.

I’d like to start this review with mentioning I listened to the audiobook and the production and narration was absolutely a 10/10. It almost like watching a movie. Really incredible stuff. HOWEVER, while the audiobook was well done, the stories were a bit too fantastical for my own personal enjoyment. If you’re into fantasy aspects in horror then I think you’ll really like this. For me though, it completely took me out of the stories.
What I thought would be a 5 star listen for me took a turn I didn’t anticipate and it’s just not for me ultimately. Bravo though to the team to put together that audiobook!

His Black Tongue is the title story, and arguably the best of the collection here. The rest are ok.

1.5 stars
The production quality of the His Black Tongue audiobook is unmatched and unparalleled. It's absolutely showstopping in quality. It's got the church bells, the sounds of a Gothic monastery, the demonic voices of possession and when a demon presents its true form, sound effects of battle, and excellent voice work from the actors. The listening experience was fantastic, but the story itself felt like I was listening to a corny-ass Christian video game. The big epic finale was corny AF and I was trying not to laugh while driving and listening to it. I'm marking this book in the superhero section because this nun literally was so touched by God and His light that she was able to wield an archangel's weapon against a demon, heal from several wounds that are impossible to heal from, and somehow manage to fight a demon with both arms broken. It was a ridiculous plot, but the epilogue/ postscript chapter had me SHOOK. The author totally pulled a fast one on me and I was pleasantly happy with the ending, so I'm giving His Black Tonuge 2 stars.
This, however, is a collection with two other stories in it and boy were they both boring stinkers. WHAT SNOOZE FESTS. "The Bone Fields" was a Norse fantasy story and "The Knights of the Non-Euclidean Table" was a Merlin jerk fest. It was draining to listen to and beyond me. If you decide to listen to the book, skip the final two stories unless you are either a diehard Norse fan or a Merlin buff. Otherwise, the only story with truly outstanding production value and an almost worthwhile story is His Black Tongue.

3.5☆ Overall
After reading the synopsis for this book I thought it was a novel not a collection of six short stories. Each story has the potential to become a good novel. I wish some of them will be fleshed out further to full length novels.
Below is my rating for each story.
•His Black Tongue (4.5☆) ~ This is the story described in the synopsis. Who doesn't like an epic battle between a demon and a "little saint?"
•The Bone Fields (3☆) ~ Vikings trying to return home after successful raiding become stranded on an unknown island. Yes, there are monsters! I did not like the ending.
•The Knights of the Non-Euclidian Table (4☆) ~ Great twist to the King Arthur, Mordred, Lancelot saga.
•Necropolis (3☆) ~ It was okay. I am not a fan of sci-fi, but it wasn't bad at all.
•The Breeding Mound (3.5☆) ~ Two Danish brothers making their way home after the war stumble upon a village that still practices the old ways. I wanted more!
•The Blessed Tomb (3☆) ~ This has loose ties to Necropolis, and again, was not my thing.
I do like Mitchell Luthi's writing style and I will read his other works.

Did not finish
March 14, 2026No overall rating as I only read one story from this collection and DNF’ed (or barely started!) the others.
The titular novella did not disappoint, it was an easy five star read for me. The rest, not so good, unfortunately.
His Black Tongue - there’s a few things in here that made this story feel unauthentic, it just didn’t feel like France, 1349. Could have had Jack Black, Kyle Gass and Dave Grohl as the main characters which isn’t a bad thing. Some character actions and various dialogue didn’t quite fit the era, it felt more like a modern day horror fantasy story. Even though that sounds rather negative, I actually thought this story was great! (The demon code prevents me from declining a rock-off challenge, so I had no choice but to read it!) 🤷🏻♀️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Bone Fields - DNF - not a fan of Norse/Vikings, so unfortunately this one didn’t work for me. I didn’t like the characters much either and the pace felt draggy.
The Knights of the Non-Euclidian Table - DNF again 😬 an Arthurian tale which I found to be so slow in getting going and by the time it did take off I’d lost interest.
Necropolis - read two or three pages - felt bored. DNF.
The Breeding Mound - These stories really aren’t my bag. I like the authors writing style though if that’s any consolation.
The Blessed Tomb - Nah, I’m done here.
I am still willing to give Lüthi’s novel ‘Pilgrim’ a go. Just because only one story floated my boat here doesn’t mean I’ve written the author off. I like his writing style immensely, it’s just there’s a lack of horror here for my tastes. Feels more like adventure with a fantasy edge.

Comprised of four stellar novellas, His Black Tongue is a dark descent into the Middle Ages. The learned consensus of the time was that a pernicious Hellscape hugged the underbelly of this mortal coil, and Lüthi captures what occurs when the twilight line between the living and the dead is blurred, when Hell seeps through the cracks.
From Franciscan Friars to Viking Warriors to Arthurian Knights to Cryptic Curators, His Black Tongue delivers the grue, dread, and period detail that makes historical horror the grand escape that it is.

The audiobook was so good and tbh it did most of the heavy lifting for me .
It's not to say the book was bad itself i can see an audience for it but it was just not for me.
For me it felt more like medieval adventure stories then horror ,i enjoyed the gothic vibe but i wasn't particularly scared .

Even more disappointing because I'd been looking for this for a while.
The story is basically Diablo fan fiction. With none of the horror or foreboding necessary to make such a story work. The writing is extremely amateur. The fight between Saint and demon is extremely corny.
Honestly I wonder if this was written by ai.
This should not be compared to Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires.

Great atmosphere but everything else was painfully mid and quite boring. Many of the characters felt flat, at times it was overwritten in an attempt to seem intelligent or profound, and I found the plots of stories 2 and 3 in particular rather dull
I also wasn't aware going in that it was a novella and 3 short stories? I was caught off guard when the first story finished and it changed to something else lol
The idea of a medieval horror sounded so cool and unique, very disappointed that I didn't like it

hmmm. no.
February 19, 2024
A variety of historical horror/kind of dark fantasy stories. I bought it for the titular novella, His Black Tongue, which I probably liked the most of all the stories in the collection, although it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. A little too surface level for my taste, I felt like it could have gone a little deeper and dirtier.
February 9, 2025
I, for sure, got spoiled with this being a full on cast with music and sounds effects!
October 28, 2024
picked up this book for the titular novella and it did not disappoint. there is something for everyone in this collection
his black tongue → religious horror, medieval times, hell, the plague ― 4.5/5
the bone fields → norse/vikings, secluded island, caves and folk tales ― 4/5
the knights of the non-euclidian table → arthurian, battle, monstrs ― 3.5/5
the breeding mound → remote village in the forest, breeding horror à la rosemary's baby ― 4/5
necropolis → crypts, dystopian, murder ― 3/5
the blessed tomb → planet hoppers, forgotten civilizations, monoliths, evil ooze ― 4/5
although it wasn't as scary as i thought it would and none of the stories really took it as far as i wanted it to go, it had great writing and great ideas that i enjoyed a lot. i can also say that some of these stories are really cinematic and the audiobook listeners are convincing me to try listening to some of my favourite stories again (apparently the narrator is great!)

3.0 ⭐️
If you enjoy medieval, occult themes then this is a worthy read. It contains several short stories that are all similarly themed.
I think, because I recently read Christopher Buehlman’s phenomenal medieval epic, Between Two Fires, that this collection lacked depth for me.

the proper way to experience these stories is through the FREE(!) immersive audiobook by sentinel creatives! do yourself a favour and throw it on. the complete performance with the narrators, score, sound effects, etc... holy shit it was scary good.

his black tongue: 5/5
the apocalyptic, hellish, religious imagery...so rad! luthi's prose is so evocative - creating visualizations akin to the terrifying imagery depicted in revelation.

A young man had become possessed by a devil. The thing within him burst into loud lamentation and departed from the man. At once the youth’s eye fell out on his cheek, and the whole of the pupil which had been black became white.
“There is no soul so lost that can no longer be found.”
The Devil never runs upon a man to seize him with his claws until he sees him on the ground, already having fallen by his own will.

Fun campy horror stories elevated by amazingly over the top audio production. All three stories kind of felt like the same idea though, and also felt kind of video game-ish? Formulaic all the way to the boss battles at the ends.
April 16, 2024
DNF at 50%. Very hammy and whimsical. No depth or intigue.

4 sterne nur weil das die krasseste audiobook produktion ever war!! sonst 3
June 22, 2024
Each short story was way too similar to be in a collection together. They all climaxed with the main characters meeting a satanic/culty demon, then battling it. Not always my cup of tea, but I expected it to be a little more subversive (I did enjoy the ending of the first story though).
I dont know WHY they called the last story Knights of the Non-Euclidean table, since it didnt incorporate anything non-euclidean that I noticed. (I also mistakenly got excited by the possibility of a medeival science fiction story- so it was a little bit of a let down).
That being said, the audiobook production quality was fantastic! If you don’t mind a little bit of a cliche story they are a decent listen.

A pretty good collection of four long-form stories. Each has a compelling premise and a good twist or two, even if the prose doesn't always match the creativity of the plot. "The Knights of the Non-Euclidean Table," however, really fires on all cylinders. It's an excellent story of what I can only describe as Lovecraftian, Arthurian legend. Worth the price of admission for that story alone.
February 12, 2025
I’m sad I didn’t like this more because the production quality on audio was amazing but the plot just didn’t draw me in.
April 29, 2025
BUMMER. i probably should have/would have DNFed this, but its only saving grace was that it was short enough to grit my teeth and power through.
December 2, 2025
the book should have ended after the first story
