Powerful shot of GrimDark, just 10 pages but certainly not for the squeamish.

Another fantastic grim short story by the King of brutally gruesome settings, Frank Dorrian. The worlds he creates are the stuff of Nightmares. From the first line, the author pulls you into a very dark place. I absolutely love Frank Dorrians writing creativity, his worldbuilding and characters are excellent. In this little tale, In the Vale of Juris, there is a plague that ravages the body, the main character, Grigor the Tongueless, is a coward, has left his dying family to their fate. In the last stages of a ravaging illness, Grigor hopes to save himself by reaching the Plague Lord himself that presides over a wasteland of disease and rot to spare him from his fate. If you haven't checked out Frank Dorrians books yet, I very highly recommend that you do....😁🖤💥
